Three different narrator's prioritizing three different things and despite being 30ish-60ish all precious babies.
Cannibalism, gender, identity, coming of age whenever the fuck you can, and violently insisting on independence from the systems and things that break us.
Moderate: Police brutality, Racism, Abandonment, Injury/Injury detail, Gun violence, Colonisation, Blood, Body horror, and Panic attacks/disorders

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
