2023 book 198

 Rachel Neumeier's Invictus: Crisis

This is the second half of the story started in Invictus: Captive, and I kind of wish I'd waited to read that one so I had read the story as a whole, since a lot of the details/characters were hazy. But I remembered the major stuff, and soon the plot was moving quickly enough, and involving new characters, that it didn’t even matter. (I will at some point reread both these books and think that'll be an awesome time.) This has sort of similar themes to the author's Tuyo, but sci-fi, and honestly I’m not mad about it. Great characterization, interesting outer space diplomacy and politics, some funny parts, totally enjoyable. A/A-.
