A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
I thought I would love this one, but I found it difficult to connect with. I found the characters compelling but the plot was too complex, the world and its politics just too alien for my liking. Overall, I think there was just too much going on for my taste.

If you enjoy deep political intrigue in an alien setting, you’ll probably love this one.
