Rather I found the detached tone of the novel – a deliberate choice from Leckie given that her narrator is and was the AI for a star ship – off putting. And no it wasn’t because Breq kept referring to everyone as “she” whether male or female. I found the opening third to be tough going. Interestingly, if not for the buzz I might not have finished Ancillary Justice. Not just because it’s a half decent book but because the reviews and discussions have prompted further talks about gender and class and colonialism. ![]() The buzz for this book has been enormous and as a result Ancillary Justice has been discussed and reviewed to death.* Which is a good thing because the novel deserves the attention it’s been getting. And only one purpose–to revenge herself on Anaander Mianaai, many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch. Years ago, she was the Justice of Toren–a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy. An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.īreq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Stolen from Goodreads (and probably the back of the novel) ![]()
