A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
5.0

wow this is the most immersive sci-fi i've read in a long time and the characters are so rich. i loved them. three seagrass is my favorite though i adore her curiosity. the prose was breathtaking i highlighted practically the whole book. arkady martine has this uncanny ability to make even the mundane fascinating. i want to chew on this book it was soo good. i'm excited to see how things are going to get explored in book 2. this is the experience i'm constantly chasing in sci-fi. i don't know why i held off reading this for so long it was a treat i knew i would love (and everyone kept telling me i would love) but i never allowed myself to indulge until now. delayed gratification or whatever
