looking to expand my horizons. My last 2 books: the power of introverts and the subtle art of not giving a f*ck.

Recently my favourite genre have been “2019 lesbian sci-fi debut novels about an empire, starting a series”.
A Memory Called Empire is absolutely amazing. A very close second is Gideon the Ninth and its sequels.

thats such a specific genre haha. Have read the Traitor Baru Cormorant? Very slightly outside of your criteria but I’d recommend it

It isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I’ll throw your suggestion on The Pile. Looks promising.
There’s also Ancillary Justice which just barely misses the exact genre. Unfortunately I didn’t really enjoy the way it is written, though the story and universe is super interesting.

Yeah that makes sense, the writing style of Ancillary Justice is really unique.
have you ever read This is how you lose the time war? I’m considering reading that one next

Just finished it and I love it. And it actually fits into the genre I mentioned above really well.
Lesbian sci-fi? Check. 2019? Check. Debut? Kinda - seems it’s the first novella of one of the authors. There are two empires, even though they’re not called that. It just didn’t start a series, so I guess I’ll drop that part and list it as one of three books that fit the rest.
