Rhee tore a path through the bustling marketplace, kicking up dust that fell slowly in Nau Fruma‘s low gravity. The foreign tourists coughed and complained as she passed, but Rhee ignored them, scanning the fairgrounds for Julian as she clutched his miniature telescope to her chest.

Skippy, the alien beer can, as usual, steals the show.

This was a slow burn, politically plotted SciFi and I thought it was great. Lots of intrigue within fantastic world building.

Mahit Dzmare is caught between her love for Teixcalaanli language and literature as ambassador to that Empire and her understanding that she will never be accepted as anything more than other and her fear that the Empire will annex her own culture and community, thereby erasing it.

My second #roll100 for July.

This is the first Banks book I‘ve read, and I am really glad I started with it. I didn‘t have to commit to the entire Culture series, but The Algebraist did give me a (prolonged, 500+ page) taste of his writing style, character arcs, world building etc.

Really loving the tagged book which is one of my #Roll100 picks for July.

Getting back on track with #DoorstopKristen

The third title is a #BlameitonLitsy spontaneous read.

ChaoticMissAdventures I really loved Empire too! It felt really layered and fresh. 1mo
Ruthiella @ChaoticMissAdventures It‘s giving me Ann Leckie Imperial Radch vibes, a trilogy I loved . 1mo

Ruthiella @Lesliereadsalot It has a similar complexity in its depiction of culture and diplomacy. Which would be too slow for some readers, but I enjoy it. 1mo
Centique Oh im so glad you‘re enjoying it! Yes reminded me of Ann Leckie too 😍 1mo
Ruthiella @Centique I really like being immersed in a complex SciFi world like this. 😊 1mo
