debbieg 's review for:
Ancillary Sword
by Ann Leckie
I think, if anything, I might have liked this one _better_ than the first. Certainly, as much as. It focussed more on character and less on action. I appreciated the way the relationships were developed, and the way Breq is finding his/her way into his/her role and position in the society. The voice is humane and rational and very sympathetic. I want to read more and to know more about Breq and her society and how things are going to work out. My only quibble is that perhaps the gender non-specificity has become a bit old - don't you think that after this time Breq might have started to sort out markers and figure things out for him/herself? It felt just a bit gimmicky, when the rest of the world and characters were so far from being unreal. But overall this was an engrossing and enjoyable read.
