PHEW SO RELIEVED it was better than the 2nd book. I was getting worried there.
More action in this book, thank goodness. Not just tea but also fish sauce (yeay). Hilarious alien action with Translator Zeiat, although I think the author kind of dangles the alien Presgers like the "enemies next door" that is a wild card - they can do anything to the plot since we don't know enough about them except that they're powerful enough to do whatever they want. So far they have managed to breach all the laws of physics without proper explanation except that they "just can"? I don't like this device. I find it lazy and unfair to the readers.
Breq our protagonist finally comes "down to earth" and gets some "humane" faults which make us relate better with her. I mean in the 2nd book she just became this... outsider savior that's better than everyone (plus omniscient, all powerful,... sounds familiar?) but here she finally resembles the Breq that was so magnetic as a character from the 1st book.

I struggled through this series but finally started to see the world and understand the dynamics in this book.

Great conclusion, forgoing bombastic action for a sophisticated, hopeful, and open-ended finish to the story of Justice of Toren, One Esk Nineteen, Athoeki Fleet Captain, Breq 🫡
