As a single book, less interesting than the Universe as a whole. It's hard for me to separate out what I thought about my first Liaden book, since I've read all of them several times. But I think it's something that grows with deeper immersion. It's all about the characters, more than action.
You might find a couple of earlier ones, the so called "Space Regencies", a good place to try. "Local Custom" and "Scout's Progress" (which has "Mouse and Dragon" as a direct sequel.) These are unabashedly Heyer-esque. And not particularly dependent on other books in the series.
