The music industry as religion + aliens, and spirits of the land at war with each other.
Eight DNFs in one month feels like a lot.
When your sibling is kidnapped by the Empire, obviously you go after them.
Even when the Empire’s capital is a giant flying black rhombus with way too many assholes in it.
Translation State comes out of the gate swinging, but an otherwise excellent sci-fi is let down by a pretty lacklustre ending.
Living stars, nonbinary assassins, and fairy-narrated sapphic romance – alas, these three didn’t work out for me.

Empire of Exiles is objectively an excellent book.
But I just didn’t care about it.
