A review by firesoulbird
Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

3.0

I enjoyed this book - the way it's told through alternating flashbacks and current events help flesh out the story, however, I didn't love it. The reason is that Breq is not a person, but an AI type deal. (It's a little more complicated than that, but...) I just can't connect emotionally to robot/AI characters very often. At any rate, the book covers a number of themes such as class issues.

Leckie does an interesting thing where the culture in this book does not actually have gendered pronouns. So the pronoun is translated as she throughout the book.
