So close to finishing! Everyone likes Ky, but who is she?

I guess maybe I'm annoyed because she probably went through all the proper developmental stages that would make her into a well-rounded adult.

Even the love-interest, bit, though... is just sort of brushed by.

RIght now it feels like Moon wanted to write about the business of space trade, and her characters are less important.

Ky does not feel like much of a person, she feels like a shell.I can't imagine how Ky feels because she rarely seems to feel anything. Remembers her training and does what it dictates. No emotional reaction to killing two people? Just the death of her friend... It would have made me far more understanding of her failing to check the pockets of those dead guys if the writing had *shown* how uneasy she felt.

high hopes for this. i loved The Speed of Dark.
