A Memory Called Empire was excellent, this one is even better.
It's another gripping page turner that keeps you hooked and enthralled.
The plot is tightly knitted and complex, the world building is excellent and expand what we already knew, great character development.
Arkady Martine is an excellent storyteller and this novel is strongly recommended.
It can be read as a standalone as it's a follow up to A Memory Called Empire.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
