I always love to revisit the Liaden Universe. This story tells of Theo's coming of age. I enjoyed her adventures as a misfit at a piloting school. And her adventures in the greater galaxy after leaving school also showed her growth. While she doesn't consider herself a "nexus of violence" things do tend to happen around her. I found it interesting to see the events that I had previously read on the other storyline from the viewpoint of a character who wasn't directly involved. The gift from Win Ton leads nicely to the next book in the series which also brings in the characters from the end of I Dare. The next book with bring the two story lines of the Liaden Universe books together. I can hardly wait!
