If the Imperial Auditor probe into the shattered Soletta mirror and the Komarran conspiracy hooked you, you'll enjoy how Provenance spirals from a seemingly small inheritance dispute into a full-blown political chess match. Like Miles leveraging his Auditor authority amid Komarr’s touchy Barrayaran relations, Ingray navigates brittle alliances, competing jurisdictions, and cultural prestige artifacts to uncover who’s pulling the strings—and why it could destabilize an entire system.

If alternating chapters between Miles’s dryly observant Auditor work and Ekaterin’s quietly razor-sharp interiority drew you in, A Memory Called Empire mirrors that layered perspective. While imperial politics tighten like they did on Komarr, you follow ambassador Mahit Dzmare and liaison Three Seagrass as their intertwined viewpoints reshape a capital’s succession struggle—much like Miles and Ekaterin’s paired insights crack the sabotage case and its Komarran roots.

If you loved how Miles’s casework brushes against Ekaterin’s unhappy marriage and gradually opens a tender possibility amid hostage standoffs and imperial scrutiny, The Curse of Chalion offers a similarly grown-up emotional arc. As Cazaril navigates treacherous court politics and divine snares, a measured, deeply felt romance unfolds with the same restraint and payoff you felt when Ekaterin’s quiet strength finally met a partner who truly saw her.

If Ekaterin’s interior voice—her resilience under Tien’s secrets and the way she calibrates risk for her son—was what made Komarr sing for you (alongside Miles’s self-questioning as an Auditor), The Speed of Dark dives just as deeply. Lou Arrendale’s first-person reflections on identity, choice, and coercion create the same intimate gravitational pull that turned the Soletta investigation and Komarr’s tensions into something personal and unforgettable.

If Miles’s sardonic asides while untangling the mirror sabotage—and his deadpan deflections during Komarr’s hostage flare-ups—made you grin, All Systems Red delivers that same wry pulse. Murderbot’s running commentary turns corporate skulduggery and ambushes into sharp, funny set pieces, much like the way Miles’s humor undercuts peril without deflating the stakes.
