Diplomats and Fugitives by Lindsay Buroker
4.0
Actual rating: 3.5
I thought this book was more structured than Republic and appreciated the fact that Diplomats and Fugitives only had 2 POVs as compared to the whopping six in the previous book. It made for a clearer, more focused story and even though some of our favourites (Amaranthe, Sicarius and Maldynado) are in the periphery. I do like Basilard and his story is very compelling even if the actual plot about the blight and Kendor wasn't that interesting. I love how Buroker developed his character. It was very thought provoking and didn't have a fairytale "happily-ever-after" feel which fitted the story well. However I do love how Buroker ends her stories with hope and interesting potential even if they aren't the happiest of endings.
As usual I do want more Amaranthe and Sicarius stories because they are the most compelling (and humorous) characters in the series so I hope we get more in the near future.
But I don't mind waiting a bit until Buroker has a solid plot and a good place as to where her characters can grow as people.
