I'm so pleased with A Memory Called Empire. It's rare to have a pairing of both a really rich, engrossing world and characters that I cared about so much. It felt like not a decision or phrasing was done without careful consideration. I could feel the pull Mahit felt between her home and the empire, and her exhaustion as the book stretched on. An absolute force and I can't wait to read the next one.

“Little Monarchs” is absolutely engrossing. I’m not sure what age is too young for this, but I adored it as an adult and I think my 7 year old kid will like it if we read together. A hopeful but not sugarcoated post apocalyptic Oregon and Northern California is an incredible backdrop, and the main character is a joy to follow.
