Lsel station, and the Teixcalaanli empire both face a devastating alien threat, the likes of which have never before been seen, and react to it in very different ways. Meanwhile, Mahit Dzmare, unsure of her ambassadorial status, gets roped into dealing with it by multiple factions.

Another enjoyable space opera, but it didn’t capture my attention the way A Memory Called Empire did. Splitting the POV between so many characters, while necessary, wasn’t something I particularly liked. Also, not enough Three Seagrass (there’s a lot of Three Seagrass).
