Navigational Entanglements av Aliette de Bodard

This is the second time I've tried Aliette de Bodard and I can confidently say that she isn't for me -- but not because of any lack of craft on her part -- this was an excellently executed novella on the themes of neurodivergence, betrayal, found frenemies, court intrigue and alien tech. All of those things were pretty stellar, and I still just can't like the characters. If you like her other work, this is a beautifully realized story in the same universe.

The Citadel of Weeping Pearls (Xuya Universe) av Aliette de Bodard

30 years ago the Citadel of Weeping Pearls vanished, taking with it one of the Empress's daughters. Now the Empress needs her daughter's special abilities to help her fend off a threatened invasion, but the only scientist to ever find traces of the Citadel has also vanished.

On a Red Station, Drifting av Aliette de Bodard

After her planet is over-run by rebels against the Da Viet Empire ,Magistrate Linh arrives on Prosper space station which is run by her family. Can she adjust to her change in status in the face of hostility from Quyen, the insecure acting Administrator of Prosper, as the Honoured Ancestress, the station's AI, starts to fail?

One of the best from an author who always intrigues me even when I'm not sure I've really understood her.
