Loved it!

Now that I've had some time to sit with it, here's some well deserved praise:

Probably my favorite read of the year so far. Such a great character study with some really well-worked stylizations for Mahit's unique neurosituations

+Mahit's complex love-hate relatioship with the all-consuming, self-projecting/replicating empire is weirdly relatable to me as a European who mainly studies contemporary US literature

Started the sequel today. I can already tell from the prelude that I'm gonna love the way she writes aliens

It's such a great take on the nature of empire from the perspective of an outsider. Nine Seagrass is my favorite for reasons.

Half way through Bk 3 and it keeps the story rolling well. I have some vague ideas about where it will all end but so many options I really need to get to the end!
The undercurrent about the meaning of individuality and privacy of mind and the indistinct nature of sexuality adds an extra theme.

Ooh, enjoy! I really, really loved this book (and the sequel) -- fantastic world-building!
