Quarter Share (Trader's Tales From The Golden Age Of The Solar Clipper) (Volume 1)

I enjoyed this a lot. I approached it after having it described to me as "cozy sci-fi", which was enough to set my expectations. Overall it is an interesting endeavor the characters set out on, and it is fun to follow their youthful passions and see how their enterprises develop. It's a nice snapshot of what life on a ship would be like for the crew.

Starship travel without any fighting ends up being completely absorbing. The author's narration adds quite a bit to the dramatic effects in the tale. The level of conflict is feather-light but I expect that subsequent volumes in the series will ramp this up.
