Really enjoyed both Memory and Desolation. I recommend them whenever I can, it never seems to crop up in peoples lists.
They were really fun. Oddly enough they were a recommendation of the BlueSky Book Club, back in that 2-month period where BlueSky wasn't so apocolyptically leftist that I couldn't stand it anymore. It's funny - I'm reading Walter Jon Wililams' The Praxis right now and there's a huge difference between "space opera written by a dude in his 60s" and "space opera written by a lady in her 20s." What's really funny is they both live in and around Santa Fe, NM so both of them have absolutely no problem with bleakness and poverty? But with Arkady Martine, the problem is violence. With WJW, the solution is violence.
