Ebook About
Now a USA Today bestseller!"[An] all around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it."—Ann Leckie, on A Memory Called EmpireA Desolation Called Peace is the spectacular space opera sequel to Arkady Martine's genre-reinventing, Hugo Award-winning debut, A Memory Called Empire.An alien armada lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can communicate with it, no one can destroy it, and Fleet Captain Nine Hibiscus is running out of options. In a desperate attempt at diplomacy with the mysterious invaders, the fleet captain has sent for a diplomatic envoy. Now Mahit Dzmare and Three Seagrass—still reeling from the recent upheaval in the Empire—face the impossible task of trying to communicate with a hostile entity. Their failure will guarantee millions of deaths in an endless war. Their success might prevent Teixcalaan’s destruction—and allow the empire to continue its rapacious expansion. Or it might create something far stranger . . .At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book A Desolation Called Peace (Teixcalaan Book 2) Review :

Filled with problems in character development, in creating believable characters, acting in character, plot holes, meanderings... just awful. Here's a short list:* Nine Hibiscus is ranking officer, and smart: why does she let 16 Moonrise ramble around her ship? That's dumb, when 9 H has demonstrated ability to deal with insolent subordinates. This is annoying.* 19 Adze is also smart, sophisticated, experienced: why does she say, "Go ahead, bomb the alien home planet to dust." without knowing anything, like, "Is it a major planet?" "What other horrific technology might the aliens have?" "Will we really piss them off?"* Is he 8 Antidote or 8 Anecdote? Crybaby 11-year-old, or really precocious kid?* Spending what feels like 20 pages of agonizing about what a barbarian is (or isn't) got really tedious. A culture as vast and old and sophisticated as Teixcalaan has got to have developed a better approach to barbarians.* The discovery of the syrinx... does the information ever get transmitted to Mahit and 3 Seagrass? (Maybe I missed it; I was starting to skip pages).* Mahit and 3 Seagrass having sex; did this really advance the plot?So many intriguing ideas, so many missed opprtunities! // Written in haste and annoyance, without going back to look at the book again.
Like A Memory Called Empire, this is an intelligent and subtle book. If you love an author who can only be understood by readers who think, then Arkady Martine is for you.Read the dedication and the epigraphs. They help set the context for the story. The second epigraph explains the title (also, perhaps, the title of the previous book). It is the well-known quote attributed to Calgacus by Tacitus, "To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles—this they name empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace." The Latin word here translated as "desert" is "solitudinem", which is Martine's title becomes "desolation".The main characters of A Desolation Called Peace are Mahit Dzmare, Three Seagrass, and Eight Antidote. (That is a slight spoiler, because Three Seagrass doesn't become an important part of the story until 14% of the way through the book. Thus in the beginning I was left wondering if she would join us. She does!) Mahit and Three Seagrass were of course main characters of A Memory Called Empire. Eight Antidote, now Emperor Nineteen Adze's heir, was a minor character in the previous book, but becomes an important point-of-view character in this one.The novel has an unusual structure. It is a multiple point-of-view story. The main POV characters are the three just named, but POV sometimes switches to minor characters. Now, multiple POV is not unusual in science fiction. I think I first noticed it in William Gibson's Cyberspace trilogy (but I'm sure he wasn't the first to use it -- he just made it conspicuous). In Gibson's books and many other works of science fiction, each chapter is told from the POV of one character, and the focus character rotates among several characters -- as many as five. This can be confusing, as the story may not be told in linear order. There may be a Rashomon-like effect of seeing the same events from different POVs.In A Desolation Called Peace, narration switches among many characters, but not by chapter. Each chapter is divided into short sections, each section told from one POV. (It is possible that A Memory Called Empire also had this structure, and that I didn't notice it.) This sounds confusing, but it really isn't. In fact, by allowing Martine to tell her story in linear order, it makes it easier to follow a far-flung tale. Everything that happens in one chapter happens at (roughly) the same time. Generally Eight Antidote tells us of events in the Teixcalaanli capital while Three Seagrass and Mahit tell of us events out on the military front in space.I have to speak of the story in generalities to avoid spoilers. It mixes far-flung space opera with deeply personal stories. For Mahit, especially, all choices are fraught because, as in the first book, the interests of Lsel station and Teixcalaan are not identical, nor is either's interests identical with hers.Now, I do have one negative thing to say. Martine is not a scientist, and it shows. (I personally am a scientist, so I'm clearly more sensitive to this issue than most readers.) She doesn't understand physics or biology. Some of the things that happen are inconsistent with physics. I don't mind this so much. In most science fiction books the problems would have been acknowledged and papered over with bulls--t. The general SF assumption is that the technology exists to do whatever I, the author, deem necessary or desirable to move my plot. Martine just leaves out the BS, which is fine by me. The BS is more offensive than the bad physics, so I'm just as happy that Martine dispenses with it.The biology problems bothered me a little more. Here is a quote, '“Is it a mammal?” Nine Hibiscus asked. She knew how to kill mammals. They had fairly standard physiologies. The heart, for example, was in the chest. “It’s not an insect or a reptile,” said the medtech. “Probably a mammal. A male-sexed one.” He gestured; Nine Hibiscus noted the penile sheath and nodded.' Now, in fact, it is extremely unlikely that an alien that evolved independently from life on Earth would be either a mammal, a reptile or an insect, or have a penis. In fact, even the words "male/female" might be meaningless. Even here on Earth, there are many organisms (animals, even) that are not male or female.Biology is a historical science. What we see here on Earth is the result of a long process of evolution in which many chance events played decisive roles. It is as unlikely that aliens are mammals with hearts and d--ks as that they speak a language whose grammatical structure is identical to that of Latin (which Martine clearly knows is unlikely). I'm a little surprised Martine makes this error, since she is a historian.That said, the matter plays no important role in the plot and was only a minor annoyance.
