Ancillary Sword
by Ann Leckie
4,5/5 stars, rounded down.
Whereas the first book in the series took a bit to really get the story going and get me invested in the main characters, this one immediately took of. I really enjoyed this second part in the series. It's not as high action as Murderbot Diaries, the series It's often compared to, but boy do I love me some AI rage about protecting its humans from outsiders.
In a way this book is more about exploring the way Breq is settling in as not-human, but somehow more humane than actual humans. I loved how we as readers got a glimpse of Breq translating the actions and feelings of her crew through her implants. I wish there was more interaction between Breq and Ship (Mercy) or (Athoek) Station, especially as it became clear she was trying to subtly satisfy theur desires. Especially because I liked the tiny interactions between Breq and (Omaugh Palace) Station and the animosity of it towards her.
