Translation State by Ann Leckie

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

If you're into politics, you'll like this book. I'm not into politics so I was not the intended audience.
