Provenance by Ann Leckie
4.0
This was a relatively slow boil. It felt actually a lot like some of Leckie’s other novels, now that I think about it. I really liked it seemingly in spite of a lot of things that I don’t normally like. The slowness, the focus on politics, mysteries that don’t necessarily get wrapped up completely (all minor, fortunately), and a main character that makes decisions I don’t necessarily think are all that great. But it had lots of elements I do like too: intrigue and mystery, interesting future-tech, space travel, and hard-to-relate-to alien species. All-in-all, definitely a good book. I’ll continue to look forward to more from this author.
