review 1: A perfect little short story, funny, that fits into the arc. If I thought for a second that diplomacy were anything like Scalzi writes it, I'd be be kicking myself for never having joined the foreign service. He skips over the tedious bits in favor of the clever solution to thorny problems. Such fun.Interesting that he didn't end each section on a cliff-hanger. Well, interesting because I'm totally enthralled anyway. I'm gonna miss this when it's done.I bought it.
review 2: 7th episode in The Human Division. Disappointed in this one. It seemed like filler to me. We have Wilson and Schmidt back and there is a diplomatic mission and dog sitting and potential civil war. BUTI'm not sure how this ties in with the bigger story arc AND this story doesn't really wo... morerk alone SO I'm not sure why it was included. Maybe Scalzi uses it later in the book but just looking at this episode on it's own merits, I would have to say that this episode could be skipped and we wouldn't miss it. less
