A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner
3.75
adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced

Voting 
"You SHOT the ambassador?"
"You gave me the gun!"
as my favorite exchange in fiction.

Really good political intreague. Loveable characters, who are all very complex. Does take a while to get sucked into. Kinda weird about slavery, but it is slavery in the Ancient Grecian sense, not chattel slavery.
