Ann Leckie’s “Translation State” is fantastic.  It’s in the same universe as the Ancillary #book s but totally different characters.  It’s got Becky Chambers and Murderbot vibes.  It’s all about what makes family, how we define human, and the personal cost of politics.  It’s about choosing our own destinies and learning to give and receive help.  Pronouns abound.  Beautifully crafted and told.
