A review by randyrasa
Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

4.0

It's been a long time since I've read any serious scifi, so maybe this wasn't the right book to ease me back into the genre. I think it was well-written, with intricate and imaginative world-building, and characters that, though they first seem cold, distant, and unengaging, eventually warm up and become human. The plot takes a long time to build, but it's worth it by the end. I'm not sure if the singular gender identification is actually necessary. It's intriguing, but distracting, and every time it took me just a bit out of the story, and it required concentration to keep up with. I liked the book well enough to finish it, and can recommend it. Not sure if I'll continue with the series, though...
