Provenance
by Ann Leckie
Like many, I loved Leckie’s trilogy and looked forward to this new instalment. The novel is set in the same universe but focuses on new players that have nothing to do with the events of the other books. Additionally, the style is different too, which is perhaps due to the personality of our narrator, Ingray. Here we have an unassuming protagonist jostled about by ‘stronger’ characters, thrown into deep waters, some of her choosing.
It took me a while to get into this book, but after getting accustomed to it, I actually enjoyed it very much. Leckie offers us a whole spectrum of genders and races, some recognisable, but dancing to a new tune. I kept thinking of the title, Provenance, and how well it is suited. Everything touches on this notion, on different levels.
