If you were drawn to Mahit Dzmare's navigation of the Teixcalaanli court and the intricate web of alliances and secrets, you'll love following Maia's rise and challenges as the new emperor. The Goblin Emperor excels at immersing you in a world of political intrigue, where every gesture and word can shift the balance of power.

If you enjoyed the immersive worldbuilding of Teixcalaan, with its poetry contests, etiquette, and living memory technology, you'll find the hexarchate's calendrical warfare and cultural rituals in Ninefox Gambit just as fascinating. Cheris's journey is set against a backdrop as inventive and meticulously constructed as Martine's empire.

If Mahit's experience as an outsider navigating a powerful, alien culture resonated with you, Breq's perspective as an AI inhabiting a human body, learning to understand and interact within the Radchaai society, will offer a similarly compelling lens on imperialism, language, and belonging.

If you were captivated by Mahit's growth as she learns to balance her own morals and loyalties against the pressures of empire, Baru's journey from a colonial subject to a power player within her conquerors' ranks will grip you. The Traitor Baru Cormorant is a masterclass in character transformation amid impossible choices and shifting alliances.

If the philosophical undercurrents of A Memory Called Empire—questions of selfhood, memory, and what makes a civilization—stayed with you, The Dispossessed will expand that experience. Follow Shevek as he challenges the foundations of two radically different societies, prompting you to reflect deeply on freedom, belonging, and the cost of progress.
