Rachel Neumeier’s Adamantine: Operative
I do enjoy books with a lot of politics/diplomacy going on, and Neumeier does that very well. After the events of the first duology in this series (Invictus), a ship crewed by all three peoples of the new Alliance is on a diplomatic mission—with a certain operative along for the ride. Of course things end up being more complicated than planned and soon our characters are caught up in the middle of a rivalry for leadership of another empire, known for being aggressive and prone to piracy. This was fine, I enjoy all the characters and cleverness, I just don’t fully understand why the author doesn’t just make this one long-ass book instead of chopping it in half. It ends so abruptly! But both books were released the same day so at least I can dive right into part two. A-.
