After the events of the first book, maheet desmar returns to the station and with the corrupted imago in her head. She has no friends on the station and is immediately embroiled in a battle of wits to keep herself and her imago line alive.
Three seagrass receives an emergency communicate, and she decides to answer it as a translator. Maheet is the linguist so she sidetracks through the station to pick her up and head to the front line of a war.
I loved this book. I loved revisiting the old characters. I liked the new points of view that were introduced. I also enjoyed the complexity of the culture of stationers and the empire.
This book continues to examine how The empire perceives everyone outside of it as not human. The aliens speak in a way that is totally different than how humans speak and the empire struggles with seeing them as thinking beings.
It's another ride of courtly politics and political intrigue. It adds a couple of new theaters. Overall, it was enjoyable, it was satisfying, and I'm really glad I read it.

But once Three Seagrass and Mahit made it onto Wait for the Wheel, we hit the ground running. The rest was very well paced. I love Three Seagrass but at the same time she makes me want to rip my hair out.
