There is an event that mirrors sexual assault in the book. Although not directly sexual, it is unwanted physical contact that might be disturbing for some.caseythereader's review against another edition

It was great to learn about the Presger Translators. I didn't feel the ending held up to how cool the rest of the book was.

This book felt structured similarly to Provenance but seemed to avoid whatever pitfall made the "unlikely protagonist gets out of sticky situation" section in Provenance drag for me. I also appreciated the nods to Provenance and made me hope those unlikely protagonists were doing well. I don't consider myself a political intrigue girlie, but whatever Leckie's doing works for me, so kudos to her. More please!
PS I do wish
