Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

3.5

adventurous challenging slow-paced

Ancillary Justice was a bit of a frustrating read. Conceptually it was really cool and fascinating. Some of the things from a technical writing standpoint were really unique and innovative. But at the same time they were, on occasion, confusing and hampering to the narrative itself. Honestly, this probably would have worked better as a novella, though it was fine as a novel. I really am not sure how the author managed to stretch it into a trilogy though, and I do not think I’ll continue with the sequels.
