For Franny, the end of everything is just the beginning of her adventure. The world as we know it is no more. Cities are mobile. Electricity is rare. Reading is a relic of the past. After an explosive encounter with a mysterious stranger, Franny, a 14-year-old orphan girl, embarks on an epic quest to find the mysterious pilots who steer the cities, hoping that if she finds them, she will get answers about her family's past - and the world's future.

The Armies of Those I Love is a brilliant vision of the future from Hugo, Locus, and Nebula award-winning author Ken Liu, author of such sci-fi classics as The Grace of Kings and The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories and translator of the global best seller The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu.

Exceedingly well written, the sentences and ideas flow so well, that listening almost puts you in a trance. I couldn't help but picture very vividly in my mind everything being said to me--a testament to how good the worldbuilding is.
There are a lot of references to "I sing the"

A very human story about seeking connections in unreal setting

Great short story with some really interesting ideas Liu put a lot of world building into this little snippet and I enjoyed it very much. Great characters and now I want to delve deeper.

Good narrator.

Enjoyable speculation

A fascinating and well wrought sci-fi tale with some interesting questions about authority, religion, and perception. My only real criticism would be that it didn't fully absorb me as much as I would have liked, but nonetheless it is well worth a listen.

Great performance.

Definitely makes me want to read more of the author.

Thoughtful and Well Written

The ending is abrupt and the story is a little confusing but I enjoyed it and the narrator was amazing and has a calming voice

Good but confusing

Very compelling story with a good amount of mystery. Has the flavour of a quest piece, mixed with a little mortal engines and a dash of helix and the sword.

Excellent far future piece
