A Memory Called Empire is a great fucking book. I'd held off A Desolation Called Peace because the reviews I saw seemed to be more restrained. It's good to hear you liked it. Have you tried the Broken Earth Series (starting with Fifth Season)?

Check out Ancillary Justice, as well.

Desolation Called Peace is great. It's the whole "courtly manners" schtick that Martine does so well combined with a first contact story.

I feel like I tried NK Jemesin at some point and she bugged me. I think it was a follow-up from Nnede Okorafor, who I also didn't care for.

I have added Ancillary Justice to my waitlist.
