I #AmReading A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine
-----
An alien armada lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can communicate with it, no one can destroy it.

In a desperate attempt at diplomacy with the mysterious invaders, the fleet captain has sent for a diplomatic envoy.

Their failure will guarantee millions of deaths.Their success might prevent Teixcalaan’s destruction. Or it might create something far stranger.

I finished reading A Desolation Called Peace. A great follow-up to A Memory Called Empire. My one sticking point was that the Teixcalaanli empire must have a surprising lack of science fiction stories. The nature of the alien enemy was not hard to pull from well-trod sci-fi topics.
