a memory called empire

[ursula]

Netgalley is pushing an excerpt of Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire. I grabbed it before I realized it was only an excerpt. I simultaneously rejoiced and was dismayed: this is a gorgeous book, a book with an eye for the seductions of literature and art, and a mystery that makes things harder and twistier than they first appear. I want the rest of it yesterday, and can't have it.
