Very different from Ancillary Justice.
Justice was all about one-of-many being pulled apart and being just one. Vengeance, and identity were all wrapped up really well in a very interesting story.
Here we have that same person being reintegrated in a different way back into a group. Breq now has to be herself but in a group that she commands, dealing with a society that she finds distasteful.
Very different, very well done.

Like the first book in the Imperial Radch books, I thought it started slow but picked up at the end. This one took me a long time to read so I kind of fell out of the flow and it may have suffered for that.

Breq is sent to Athoek station by "the tyrant", to ensure the "other side" doesn't gain a foothold against the young Anaander Mianaai. Because this is Breq, she doesn't do anything the governor of the station, nor the rich families (rich because of the tea plantations on the planets below), expect her to do. So, of course, she kicks open hornets' nests, almost gets killed, but most importantly, meets Lieutenant Awn's sister.
And, to echo my earlier thoughts about the Raadch, the amount of tea they drink!!
