A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
4.0
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Reminded me a bit of John Scalzi's Interdependency series - both futuristic space sci-fi, both with a strong female lead, both with a hook that the lead has access to their predecessor's memories. Similar premise, but the stories are quite different. It took me a bit to get into it, but I enjoyed the book
