The writing is beautiful and the story engaging! A fantastic political soace opera. The middle got a little slow for me but it was well worth it to see how it was all tied up in the end.

I read this book a while ago… on accident somehow. And it so unexpectedly wormed its way into my heart and to the top of my recommendation list. It’s not something I would necessarily read, the special interests of the characters aren’t particularly interesting to me… and yet I was never bored.
This was like a conversation with someone who captures your attention & heart with something they’re super nerdy and passionate about but you don’t know or care a lick about in your own right

the book was due before I could finish it. Will be trying again later this year.

I've been very slowly trying to work my way through books that have won the Hugo award and had no idea what this would be about, but I liked it a lot! Though the plot encompasses the whole empire, it feels small as the MC works through a mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the whole idea of the imago felt really fresh and unique.
