Embassytown - Aliens who are truly alien and a wild, techno-organic world!

Hugonauts: The Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time

There is only one human settlement on the planet of Arieka. There, in Embassytown, a young woman named Avice grows up in a strange world between worlds, where all that is human and all that is alien collide without ever really coming together. That's not much of a summary, but this is a book that really benefits from going in mostly blind, so we made sure to keep things really clean in the pre-spoilers section too.
