A Peace Divided by Tanya Huff
4.0
3.5 stars
Torin has to be a unique mix of peacekeeper, Marine and politician, in a universe where nothing is *quite* as it is for us. Guns can't be concealed, plastic is either inert or a manipulative intelligent lifeform, and whatever she does there's a mountain of paperwork. Luckily (or not) there's a species that thrives on beauracracy...
And then there is the task at hand. With the opposing teams almost equally balanced, strategy and experience may decide whose long odds are most successful, but it might be too close for comfort.
This wasn't quite as enjoyable as the first, but still good. I would have found it less confusing if I'd reread #1, because then I would have been able to keep the various species' straight. It took me too long to get back into this universe, but that's a failing on my part! Will definitely improve on rereads. (Especially as "watching" alien archeologists at work was quite entertaining.)
