This one was longer. Dina is asked to host a peace summit between three warring factions who live on Nexus, a planet of sorts. They have been at each others throats for years and the Arbitrator, George, is finally hoping that they can work things out.
We see a lot of the same characters from the previous one but I was missing a certain someone quite a lot - Sean. Dina contacted him near the start but Sean was away from Baha-Char and we didn't see him for a lot of the book.
The peace summit turned out really well in the end but everyone had to go through quite a lot to get there. We had deceit, poisonings, deaths... It certainly wasn't easy to achieve and I won't spoil it for future readers by going into details.
I'm glad Sean's back on Earth and that we will possibly see their romance bloom properly in the next one.
Off to start book 3.

It starts AFTER a war, and deals with the aftermath, I wish I realized this faster then I did as I kept feeling like I was missing things.
The main characters are teens that can't age because magic and most of the characters I liked they are complex and interesting, with an unfortunate tendency to hate on any authority figure, with or without reason.
Eventually, I see if a second readthrough clarifies anything.
