WINNER OF THE 2022 HUGO AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL
"[An] all around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it."—Ann Leckie, on A Memory Called Empire
A Desolation Called Peace is the spectacular space opera sequel to Arkady Martine's genre-reinventing, Hugo Award-winning debut, A Memory Called Empire.
An alien armada lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can communicate with it, no one can destroy it, and Fleet Captain Nine Hibiscus is running out of options.
In a desperate attempt at diplomacy with the mysterious invaders, the fleet captain has sent for a diplomatic envoy. Now Mahit Dzmare and Three Seagrass—still reeling from the recent upheaval in the Empire—face the impossible task of trying to communicate with a hostile entity.
Their failure will guarantee millions of deaths in an endless war. Their success might prevent Teixcalaan’s destruction—and allow the empire to continue its rapacious expansion.
Or it might create something far stranger . . .

Frickin' Awesome Voicework

Standing on the shoulders of 'Empire', this novel adds additional viewpoints, from weathered Yaotlek Nine Hibiscus and her right hand, Twenty Cicada, to the scurrying, naïve-but-not-for-long child heir, Eight Antidote and his guardian, Emperor Nineteen Adze. With the narration slipping back and forth between what is, at turns, a war, a love affair, a palace intrigue and a first-contact scenario, the story feels gripping, driven and honestly I could go on for hours on the statements in this work, from commentary on post-colonialism to pervasive surveillance, to the amazing, intricate, wonderful world of Teixcalaan, where poetry is politics.
Having just rolled off Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy, you may find the similar themes in both of Arkady Martine's volumes to be to your liking. Martine's prose and dialogue is good but her characterizations are pure delight.
The narration is well executed, by the same narrator who performed the first book in the series, with clearly defined internal and external voices for each character, all equally well executed, including the, at times, mouth-twisting issues of Teixcalaanli pronunciation.
I cannot recommend this highly enough, as a sequel to a Hugo winning debut novel, this does not disappoint.
Staggering!
