sarahrigg 's review for:
Ancillary Sword
by Ann Leckie
I'd heard from others that this was a little weak and felt like a bridge from the first to the third, but I still enjoyed it. In the second book, our main character, Breq, an AI who was once a ship with many "ancillary" bodies and now with only one, goes to the star system where the surviving relative of a human she cared about lives, in order to offer her help to the relative. The relative rejects her offer, but in the meantime, Breq gets caught up in politics and intrigue on the space station and planet and positions herself for the chaos she knows will develop as word about the problem with the Lord of the Radch spreads. I agree that this wasn't as good as the first novel, but still found it very satisfying.
