The Scholar of the Bamboo Flute — Aliette de Bodard
A Fire Born of Exile — Aliette de Bodard
Another super good story from Aliette’s Xuya universe. I’m thinking this is probably the longest one so far: it’ll certainly keep you occupied for a good while.
Our protagonist, and her mindship friend, have both come back from the dead (that’s the exile bit) hell set on revenge against those who executed them. But revenge isn’t quite as straight forward as they would like it to be.
If you haven’t read any Xuya stories yet then get yourself over to Aliette’s “all things Xuya page” and find out where to start and what it’s all about. Basically, it’s just really good sci-fi, from a really good writer, with a wonderful Asian flavour to it all.

The Red Scholar’s Wake — Aliette de Bodard
It had certainly been a while since i read any Xuya stories when i finally got this in my Kindle’s memory bank, but i soon fell back into the universe like i’d never been away.
‘The Red Scholar is dead.’ So begins the story. And left behind in her wake is her wife, the mindship Rice Fish.
The Red Scholar was the head of the Red Banner of the pirates and Rice Fish wants to stake her claim as banner head, but to do so she needs to find out who arranged the death of her wife. In order to do so she enlists the help of a captured scavenger, Xich Si. And so begins a story of intrigue, deception, betrayals, love, and all kinds of crazy pirates’ political machinations.
Super good stuff, as are all the Xuya Stories i’ve read.
Next in the Xuya universe is A Fire Born of Exile.
Bye for now.
