You won’t regret Project Hail Mary. One of the most fun books I’ve ever read.
Memory Called Empire is a new favorite of mine. The sequel, A Desolation Called Peace, is also incredible.
I felt the sequel was good but not on par with the first one. A Memory Called Empire just weaves the story using so many colors!
That’s probably fair, I read them back to back so they kind of blur together for me haha.
The sequel even won the Hugo, so yea, I can't wait to read it.
If you read/heard The Martian, it's similarly themed and detailed. If you haven't, then what are you doing! You need to go read the martian.
Honestly I tried both these books, the writing style is unbelievably irritating.
It reads like "Woo science is cool isn't science cool?!?" Constantly. Yes we get it, you're from a deeply religious country and you're now entering the 20th century ffs
