A Memory Called Empire

[MacGregor]

I just finished A Memory Called Empire, 2020 Hugo Award winner, by Arkady Martine. Anyone else read it? Pretty much a standard space opera murder mystery. One specific thing I did like was the non standard naming convention for characters in the empire, a number followed by a noun: three-seagrass, six-direction, etc. While a little silly, it does highlight that there are a lot of options when it come to how we name individuals in OA beyond the standard first-middle-last name.
