Our view
In “Sweep in Peace”, Ilona Andrews turns a comic set-up, a peace summit held at a magical inn, into a story both funny and moving. Some readers enjoy the humour, the politics among three warring peoples and Orro, the inn’s new chef. Others skim the explanations and miss a character from the first book. The story darkens once the grief of a long war comes into view, and the ending moves some to tears.

About the book
Dina DeMille isn't your typical Bed and Breakfast owner. Her inn defies laws of physics, her dog is secretly a monster, and the only permanent guest of the inn is a former Galactic tyrant with a price on her head. The inn needs guests to thrive and guests have been scarce, so when an Arbitrator shows up at Dina's door and asks her to host a peace summit between three warring species, she jumps on the chance.Unfortunately, for Dina, bridging the gap between space vampires, the Hope-Crushing Horde, and the merchants of Baha-char is much easier said than done. To make the summit a success, she must find a chef, remodel the inn, keep her guests from murdering each other, and risk everything, even her life, to save the man she might fall in love with. But then it's all in the day's work for an Innkeeper...
