A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine
challenging
mysterious
reflective
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.5
A Desolation Called Peace is a fascinating look at language, in a sci-fi context, as well as examining society through individual vs collective notions, as well as individual AND/AS collectives. This is a truly interesting and engaging read, and a brilliant sequel to A Memory Called Empire.
