I cannot say enough good things about A Memory Called Empire. An ambassador from a small space station is summoned to the empire and has to navigate politics, investigating her predecessor’s death, and her own love of the culture of an empire threatening to consume her people. The development of the culture of the empire was fascinating and I loved how this was a sci-fi book where the technology was vitally important, but not the focus of the text. I loved the characters and the many layers of politics involved in everything that happened in the book. I enjoyed it enough that I bought and read the second book in the series immediately.
