Which is totally cool!! And makes her worldbuilding first class, which is where we will start. As a note, the author uses a pen name because with her real name she’s published as an academic historian focusing on the Byzantine empire. Before diving into book 2 I thought I’d review book 1 and make a few predictions for the one I’m starting today. Arkady Martine’s debut novel A Memory Called Empire is just fantastic and book 2, A Desolation Called Peace, came out earlier this month. The book review for today is one of my favorites from last year which also won a Hugo award. ![]() ![]() Wow, it’s been two whole weeks since my last post! So sorry friends (assuming my friends read this ever…) but life has been crazy busy!
