POLITICAL CHAOS?! Adding A memory called Empire to my TBR. I'm finding so many new books that might fit me through your videos, even if it's books you aren't loving you explain them so well that someone who might love them (like me) can see the appeal in them!

i love hearing your in-depth thoughts on why you're choosing what for each category. i may have to do that myself once voting wraps up for why i go with each title i do. and i'm so happy you enjoyed my review! i agree that i think a memory called empire will have a longer lasting impression on me than many sff i read. i can't wait to reread it honestly, it feels like something that would just get better each time you go back.

Fun way to break it down by all the elements like themes and such. I’m not as experienced in some things like using technology to solve issues as a SFF trope. Thanks for sharing!

The cultural aspects of A Memory Called Empire sound so intriguing!

I'm definitely adding A Memory Called Empire to my May TBR!

I'll add that to my TBR. I don't have a *lot* of history with space operas, but I actually dig the ones I've experienced. I'll definitely keep my eye out for that one

oooooo a memory called empire sounds relly good!! Will have to put it on my tbr :)

A Memory Called Empire will probably end up being one of my favorite books of all time. I need to reread it before the second one comes out, but I'm still thinking about it constantly almost a full year after reading it. I am so happy everyone is picking it up now.

I've owned a Memory Called Empire for a while, now thanks to you i really want to pick it up finally 😅😅 And i love Recursion, is such a good entertaining book

I like the way you didn’t base it only on enjoyment - since it is an awards vote, I like that you were more systematic 😀. I’ve been recommended Recursion by a number of people - it definitely sounds like something I would like!

Boom got yourself a new subscriber lol

Of these, Recursion was by far my favorite. But behind that, I feel like I could see more people liking A Memory Called Empire than Gideon (though I really didn't love either).

I'm gonna check out all three of these - Gideon the Ninth and Recursion both have 8 or 9 holds on audio and ebook but the audiobook of A Memory Called Empire is available immediately, so yay!

I have been very intrigued about a memory called empire. I tried to read Gideon the night and I just could not do it. I DNFed it. I agree with you, it has to many things going on, and from what I read it was not very based on a science principle, it just was sci-fi because it was in space. Very good video!

I’ve only read Recursion, which I really liked, though I prefer Dark Matter (same author). I’ve added A memory called empire to my TBR 😊

I’m waiting for A Memory Called Empire on Libby. From your description it sounds interesting. There’s a little bit of a wait but I’ll have to let you know what I think. It sounds good though.

You just increased my tbr so thanks... I think. 🤔

I have heard that Recursion is just just Dark Matter part 2.
