I #AmReading A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine
-----
An alien armada lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can communicate with it, no one can destroy it.

In a desperate attempt at diplomacy with the mysterious invaders, the fleet captain has sent for a diplomatic envoy.

Their failure will guarantee millions of deaths.Their success might prevent Teixcalaan’s destruction. Or it might create something far stranger.

I have finished reading A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine.

This is a fantastic book. I'm not typically a big fan of politics and diplomacy in stories, but wrapping the whole thing in a murder mystery I think really helped with the onboarding. The most fascinating facet has to be the cultural.

Strong recommendation.

I think if this book had been described to me as being largely diplomacy and politics, I might have passed on it. And it does feature a lot of that, but by wrapping it in a murder mystery it becomes more interesting to me.

Feels like Arkady Martine is good at tipping their hand to the reader just before the protagonist makes some new connection. So you're never entirely confused by that new connection, nor frustrated with it taking too long.

-----
Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn't an accident--or that Mahit might be next to die...

@gu4n

I just finished the first book, A Memory Called Empire.

I loved it in ways I can't describe. It had a ethereal quality that I can't pin down.

Book 2 is calling to me.

Finished #ArkadyMartine's A Desolation Called Peace yesterday and have been suffering a bad case of #BookHangover ever since. I absolutely loved the #Teixcalaan sequel, Swarm and Mallow in particular, but also sign me up for more side stories about Cure and Reed. #AmReading #SFF #Books

@[email protected] I would recommend all books by the following authors but limiting to some highlights:
#TheExpanse series by James S.A. Corey;
The #FinalArchitecture and the #ChildrenOfTime series by @aptshadow ;
The #Teixcalaan series by @ArkadyMartine ;
The #RemembranceOfEarthsPast series by Cixin Liu;
The #WeirdSpace series by Eric Brown & Una McCormack.

That should keep you busy.
