Book Reviews of Trading in Danger (Vatta's War)
Book Review: "I haven't really done anything," Ky said.
Summary: 1 Stars
Trading in Danger tells the exciting story of Ky Vatta, a girl who suffers from a complete and utter lack of any kind of personality. Her entire life she's always been entirely devoid of any kind of qualities or traits which would make her the least bit interesting to read about. Thinking the military would make her a more interesting person, she goes off to Space Academy. Unfortunately, due to some illogical plot device, which is never really explained properly, (she apparently commits some kind of treason by telling a fellow cadet where he can find a priest so he can confess his sins. No, I didn't make that up.) she's kicked out and has to return home to the family trading business.
Her father quickly gets rid of her by making her captain of a ship crewed by characters even less interesting than Ky. For the first time in her life, Ky has finally found a place where she belongs. Everyone aboard the Glennys Jones is dull and forgettable, and Ky is finally able to quietly be nothing more than a name on paper. At last she's free of the pressure to be someone she's not, and she can spend page after page doing nothing interesting without any danger of being overshadowed by more interesting people.
If you want to read about forgettable characters doing forgettable things that you've already seen done many times before, and long since forgotten about, then Trading in Danger is a book you still shouldn't read. Read this book only if you're suffering from insomnia, or if you find the idea of reoccurring jokes about unwanted fruitcakes from Aunt Grace the least bit funny.
