A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine

I recently finished A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. It's a debut science fiction novel and apparently won the Hugo award. I really enjoyed it. It is a mystery plot set in a detailed universe. I quickly warmed to the protagonist (Mahit Dzmare), she was both interesting and different. Also, I really liked that the author had managed to convey the feel of an empire without naming an entire telephone directory of characters. Definitely recommended.
