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 . . .

Excellent
I loved the first book and feel the second is even better. The author has/is creating very complex and creative worlds/cultures. Can’t recommend enough.
3.5/5
This sequel was still enjoyable to read overall however it felt more like standard sci-fi with politics intermixed compared to the first book and I was much more interested in the politics than I was in the science fiction elements. I really fell in love with the characters from the first book, so I wanted to see where they went next so it was fun to continue to follow their story. This book also had a much more satisfying ending.
