A Memory Called Empire

Very fast paced and enjoyable to read. My only quibble is how quickly the new Ambassador became friends with her assistant/liaison - I would have imagined a period of very rigid professionalism, followed by a gradual thaw, and then respect, and eventual friendship - but the whole book takes place in a very compressed time period, so all that had to fly by the wayside. It was not like anything else I've read recently, so that was a big plus. (Also, I am supposed to say that I won this in a Goodreads giveaway. But it was on my to-read list anyway before that.)
