An absolute joy
5 stars
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.

This was absolutely wonderful. Every part of it was golden. I'm going to be thinking about it for a while, even before I get to the sequel.

Forgot to mark this one. It was great, but it felt like half a book. Looking forward to the next one
robotadam reads finished reading Little Monarchs by Jonathan Case
“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.

I liked the characters and the pacing was excellent, but the world didn’t grab me that much. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for future books by the author.
