A Desolation Called Peace | Arkady Martine

pick

If you‘re a sci fi fan this duology is SO GOOD! It makes me think of that Keri Russell series The Diplomat but the politics are interplanetary. You have a colonising empire, a barbarian non empire station that wants to be left alone and now a new alien species that is creating havoc and looks like a civilisation ending threat. In THIS universe there just may be a possibility of peace.

CarolynM Great review. You make it sound tempting. I love The Diplomat but I generally dislike sci-fi. On the maybe pile😆😘 2d

Ruthiella The first book is on my #Roll100 list, but I haven‘t landed on it yet. I know this is right up my street. 2d

Centique @CarolynM I know what you mean. If you‘re not used to a genre like sci fi, the talk of aliens and jump gates and things can feel off-putting, even when there‘s a good story underneath it! 👍😜 2d

A Memory Called Empire | Arkady Martine

pick

I completely loved this. A Sci Fi political intrigue novel with strong mystery elements. Mahit has been sent by her home world as an emergency replacement for their missing ambassador at the centre of the Empire. She needs to find out what has happened to the missing ambassador Yskandr and somehow ensure her homeworld remains out of the empire‘s expansionary plans. Really interesting world building, tech and interplanetary politics. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bookwormjillk Sounds fun 1mo

Ruthiella On my list! 1mo

Dragon Great book 👍❤️🐉 1mo

Reggie Sounds good! 1mo

Centique @Reggie yes! And also surely that is the coolest author name of all time 🙌 1mo

Some Desperate Glory | Emily Tesh

pick

3.75⭐. I thought this was great but maybe 50-75 pages too long. I really enjoyed Tesh's writing. I found myself sinking into the story as soon as I picked it up and flying through the pages. The characters were not likable, but they each had believable growth through complex challenges. I have been really craving space reads and this scratched the itch perfectly.

Ruthiella I really liked this a lot - really great character driven SciFi. 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @Ruthiella very character driven. I think you need patience to understand the psychology behind all of it. I saw some reviews (after finishing) that were mad at Kyr's homophobia and.... That was the point? She is a product of her environment and you have to stick around and think about why maybe she was more susceptible than some of the others. 1mo

Livesuit | James S. A. Corey

pick

4.5/5

The perspective of a livesuit solider, on the other side of an endless and timeless war.

I'm really enjoying this series. There are definitely a lot of horror elements to the series and the aliens.

Dragonfly Gambit | A D Sui

A bit ridiculous to post March wrap up most of the way through April but end of March/beginning of April was busy busy. I've been working through the nebula nominees, so I also read the short stories and novelettes in March but not counting those in my stats.

Howling Dark | Christopher Ruocchio

Dreaming of reading in bed. Saturday can‘t get here soon enough.

Just did a post about my bookish day off routine over on Wildwood Reads if you‘re interested. Idk what it is about morning routines but I‘m obsessed with watching them, so I thought I‘d make my own

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve enjoyed reading your blog posts. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. I used to write a blog - more for me than anyone else and I sense the need to return to Laurie‘s Resting Place 💛 https://lauriesrestingplace.wordpress.com/?_gl=1*17gwjwc*_gcl_au*OTA4NjY5OTYwLjE.... 3mo

wildwoodreads @BooksandCoffee4Me You totally should! I find it almost therapeutic. 4w

Skirmishes (Diving Universe, #4) | Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Solid entry to the saga of folks who search out ancient technology to adapt it for their own use.

#Doublespin for April

@TheAromaofBooks

Leniverse I need to read more of these. I read Diving the Wreck, or whatever book one was called years ago and keep forgetting to return to the series. 3mo

majkia @Leniverse I love the whole alien artifact genre. I enjoy her take on it. 3mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo
