Of Wars, and Memories, and Starlight by Aliette de Bodard
A short story collection by Ms. De Bodard that further fleshes out her stories of Mind ships, the Xung Empire and more of the dominion world of Paris.
In some ways the stories were good in they fleshed out her far flung worlds. The stories about the Dominion world did give some clarity to how the houses run. But overall I wanted more completion from the stories. They left me hanging in so many cases. They were snippets rather than conclusion. I did like being in this weird Vietnamese future among the planets and how they would go about ruling the universe and their different takes on technology but the stories never really felt fulfilling.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
