Spoiler alert:
A really good book, but it loses a star and a half for me because she started out with such a bold concept, then kind of copped out a bit. She introduces us to two countries at war, who have been at war for so long that their culture and self-image is imbued with it, suddenly having a peace imposed on them by an outside group. Then she made that outside group utterly evil and practically inhuman. I wish she hadn't. The clash of cultures and mores was fascinating, and surely the third party could have been in some way threatening without making them complete bogeymen.
Read it anyway.
