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 . . .

I do have to say that I liked the first volume a bit more. The plot is a bit weaker in my opinion.
The alien encounter is interesting, and reminds me a bit of a book called The Swarm, but it wasn't something super original to me.
The characters are just wonderful, and I especially liked the additional view of Eight Antidote. Will I get the next volume as soon as it comes out? Yes!
Not as good as the first one

Well written characters and relationships in a truly creative and well-crafted world. The author's background in Byzantine history shines brilliantly through and I'm SO here for it.
Absolutely stellar vocal performance.
What more could one ask for? Well...
My only criticism is about the physics of spaceflight, which although central to the plot's culmination doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. May not be important to all, but I'm a physics buff so it bothers me :)
*SPOILER ALERT*
The empire does not posess the tech for FTL travel or communication, except for the use of warpgates, the origin of which is unclear. So how did they A) find and then B) plan to invade the alien system?
If the warpgates belong to some predecessor civilization, and therefore one exists in the alien system as well, presumably it would be very easy to defend.
If the warpgates are built by humans, then it would take them decades to explore outside their borders at sublight speeds.
This, and the response of the fleet's cadre to being faced with an enemy that may not need to use warpgates at all (it was unclear to me), and so could strike directly at the imperial capital system if provoked, seems odd to me.
A blast

You need a bit of science in science fiction...
