It was a lot slower-paced than the first book and generally felt like there wasn't as much going on since it was just 1 storyline instead of 3, but I really liked it anyways! The new characters were really interesting and I think Breq is such a fascinating narrator. It also went deeper into the complexities of Radchaai life and the horrors of empire, so even though the main plot didn't really progress much I don't mind.

Quite a different book from the first one. Not as flashy and structured as Ancillary Justice (of course, since it's driven by revenge), but I found Ancillary Sword more engaging and focused.

I liked this better than the first one - maybe beause I got the writing style better. A good sci fi series, hope she continues it.
