Empress of a Thousand Skies | Rhoda Belleza

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.

A Memory Called Empire | Arkady Martine

pick

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.

The Algebraist | Iain M. Banks

pick

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.

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
