Excellent read. I love the Liaden Universe books. The Liaden Universe is strongly drawn and the details are consistently well thought-out. The books have action, suspense, romance and characters you really care about. The hero and heroine of Crystal Dragon and the prequel Crystal Soldier are Cantra and Jela, both people you would like to know and definitely people you would want on YOUR side in any disagreement. In my opinion, though, neither is really the best place to start the series even though chronologically they fall before the Conflict of Honors/Agent of Change/etc. books. I would recommend reading them in the following order:

Current generation Korval:
Conflict of Honors
Agent of Change
Carpe Diem
Plan B
I Dare
Fledgling
Saltation

Previous generation Korval:
Local Custom
Scout's Progress

Earlier in Liaden and Terran contact:
Balance of Trade

Founding of Liad and Clan Korval:
Crystal Soldier
Crystal Dragon
