Liked it. Read it out of order, before reading Ancillary Sword. Shouldn't have done that. Wasn't paying attention.

Thanks for a wholesome, feminist, good ride Leckie. Thanks for a host of multi-faceted characters and a plot line that took me to unexpected and beautiful moments. I didn't need grand-scale war. I needed slices of humanity, of moral quandaries, of downright diabolical problem solving. A very enjoyable series I would highly recommend to sci-fi readers.

Be warned: it's not what you expect- it's a whole lot more.

P.s.

Breq is the bomb

Terrific, better than the second, maybe better than the first. Leckie doesn't have to spend time establishing the world; she gets right to it. Interesting plot, but the highlight is the characters. Well worth reading.
