A review by rkaufman13
A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine

5.0

While the shape of the language here lends itself to, I don't know, Aztecs In Space, Martine just nails the experience of (sorry) a total weeb just bouncing off a real, actual culture with real human people. Also there's Politics and rebellion and a real true love of language that made this book un-putdownable. Many of the characters are a little too Clever to feel real but that was a minor fault, I think.
