“So much of who we are is what we remember and retell”

4 ⭑

A Memory Called Empire is, the first book in the Teixcalaan duology, when I picked up this book I never expected to like it this much, it was just that good. I instantly bought the second volume called A Desolation Called Peace, it was as good, maybe even better.
This science-fiction series is about remembering the pasts, legacy, colonialism, languages and so many other themes… I loved everything about the books and wished there was more to this series, the word-building is incredible and if you know me (I expect you don’t) you know i’m a sucker for good world-building and science-fiction I just couldn’t not love this series. 
In these books we follow Mahit Dzarme, the main character from a small mining station, she’s the ambassador of her station and holds the legacy of other ambassadors. Once she arrives in the center of the Teixcalaanli Empire she meets Three Seagrass there, she is her liaison, her job is to follow Mahit and help her adapt to her new life, their relationship really expends as the series nears its end. Once on Teixcalaan she discovers the previous ambassador has died, begins the long search of trying to understand how and why he died and save her station from colonisation, which is her main mission.
The characters and their relationship are so interesting, they have real depth to them, their development is truly incredible with a touch of romance. 
Arkady Martine’s writing is on point, it is so good I aspire to be as good to be honest, she tells her story with so much confidence it’s amazing..! 
I could go on for hours trying to make you want to read this book but i am going to leave you the chance to experience it..!
