Caliban's War

Pros: still fun, fast, and funny. Does a really good job at showing how governments (especially big ones) aren't just a group of people who all agree with each other. I feel like a big problem in sci-fi/fantasy world is that oftentimes an organization or government has only one viewpoint on something, i.e. “Country X wants to go to war with Country Y.” But in the real world, any large group of people will have differing camps on any important issue, and this book shows that well. There's also several good uses of revealed information

Cons: has a little bit of the “your princess is in another castle” vibe, with a similar corporate villain as last time
