I love a science fiction novel that delves into ideas of ‘self’ and ‘identity’ so this felt like it would be a solid read for me. Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her Station from Teixcalaan’s unceasing expansion-all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret-one that might spell the end of her Station and her way of life-or rescue it from annihilation. But no one will admit that his death wasn’t an accident-or that Mahit might be next to die, during a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court. I wasn’t totally sold on the whole science fiction thing at the time (oh how times change) and I couldn’t quite work out what it was all about based on brief glimpses of the cover.īut here we are, it’s 2020 and I’ve got a hankering for really good character-driven science fiction – enter the paperback release of A Memory Like Empire and the kind people at Tor who sent me a copy for review – I was excited to get started.Īmbassador 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. ![]() A Memory Called Empire was a book that sort of passed me by when it first came out. ![]()
