Part mystery, part space opera,A Memory Called Empire was one of the most engaging speculative fiction books of 2019 (not to mention one of the best-titled releases of the year).
The story follows Ambassador Mahit Dzmare, a fish-out-of-water emissary who just got her dream job at the center of the vast Teixcalaanli Empire. The only snag? Her predecessor was maybe murdered? And no one wants to talk about it? And someone might be trying to murder her too? Mahit must learn the ins and outs of her job while also trying to solve a murder mystery seemingly driven by imperial court politics before she gets murdered too.
