... a goal-driven plot with high-stakes maneuvering?
Provenance by Ann Leckie
If you loved how Cardenia and her allies raced against time to save the Interdependency, you'll be drawn to Provenance. Ingray Aughskold's desperate quest to secure her future through a risky political gambit is filled with tense decisions, shifting alliances, and the kind of clear, pressing objectives that keep the pages turning.
... a large, dynamic ensemble cast interacting amid cosmic intrigue?
Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee
If you enjoyed the interplay between Kiva Lagos, Cardenia Wu-Patrick, and the rest of the Interdependency's memorable cast, you'll appreciate the complex web of characters in Ninefox Gambit. Cheris, Shuos Jedao, and their supporting figures navigate shifting loyalties and high-stakes conflicts that make every character’s role crucial.
... political intrigue and power struggles at the highest levels?
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
If the backstabbing, scheming, and courtly machinations of the Interdependency reminded you of a space-age chess match, you'll find The Goblin Emperor just as gripping. As Maia ascends the throne amid a web of plots and alliances, the book delivers a rich tapestry of political maneuvering and subtle intrigue.
... humor, wit, and clever meta-narrative twists?
Redshirts by John Scalzi
If you relished the snappy dialogue and tongue-in-cheek humor that Scalzi brought to the Interdependency's tense moments, Redshirts will have you laughing at its sharp wit and self-aware science fiction tropes. The banter, absurd situations, and clever deconstruction of genre conventions make it a hilarious and insightful read.
... a sweeping, high-stakes space opera with a richly imagined universe?
Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
If you were drawn to the grand scale of the collapsing Flow and the fate of entire civilizations, Ancillary Justice offers a similarly epic backdrop. Breq's quest for justice takes her across a vast, meticulously detailed galaxy, where the stakes are immense and the fate of empires hangs in the balance.
