A memory called empire book review6/9/2023 The only problem is- the previous ambassador is dead, and no one from Teixcalaan will talk about it. So when her opportunity to become ambassador finally comes, she’s over the moon with excitement. She loves everything about Teixcalaan, their language, their artwork, their holovision programs, their politics and their way of speaking. Mahit (our MC) has spent her whole life training to be an ambassador from her home mining outpost (Lsel) to the Teixcalaani Empire. That one line pretty much sums up the whole book. One of the first pages said something along the lines of: “This is for all those who have ever fallen in love with a culture that was not their own.” (Disclaimer: This has been an off year for me. I’m beginning to question whether it’s me or the books. I’m super disappointed to be giving this only three stars (no three stars isn’t bad- I’d just much rather give it four or five).
