I am so HERE for this book! Sci-fi is not normally my wheelhouse - I live firmly in the fantasy camp, with other genres mixed in occasionally. The Collapsing Empire was a delight - funny and fascinating and without meaning to, feeling very timely. This book begins at the end of a dynasty, I can't wait to see how it plays out!12/10
P.s. Scalzi neatly solved a tired trope: Unprepared relativd ascends throne after untimely death of appropriate heir.
