A review by paperback_cat
Provenance by Ann Leckie

4.0

This is very relatable for a book where the main character is dealing with alien politics and conspiracies.  It wasn't as mind-bending as the trilogy that this is a spin-off from, although the complexity did build in a satisfying way.

We got a bit of the very alien-feeling aliens, which I enjoyed (although I was sad about the lack of Translators). Ann Leckie is so great at writing and exploring different cultures. I especially liked the family dynamics and friendships in this one.
