Chris Nuttall gives us another tale of a space empire in collapse, this time with a focus on economics and industry (though there are several battles for those so inclined).  The heroine passes through a coming of age experience, starting with escape and ending in a dynastic marriage.  The villains remain well hidden until the very end. The story is well written, the merchant trader culture is creatively described, and the sequence of challenges the heroine must overcome continues until the very end.  This is one of Nuttall's better works.
