A review by noranne
Empire Ascendant by Kameron Hurley
3.0
If I had to sum up Kameron Hurley as an author, I'd probably say "unique and gruesome" and this book definitely falls into those categories.
I am struggling a bit with this series. Despite several well-developed viewpoint characters, I don't feel a connection to this world at all. Perhaps because every single character is basically completely awful (save one that I actually like). I don't really care if this world or that world triumphs in this battle. And I don't totally understand the overarching meta-battle so it's hard to care about that.
Not a bad book, in all, and I'll read the third book at some point, but yeah.
