Inheritor by C.J. Cherryh

4.0

The first book in the trilogy was a bit slow to start and frustrating, since it’s just pages and pages of Bren being totally bewildered, but it keeps getting
better from there. Still mostly a lot of being inside Bren’s head, but it’s a more entertaining place when he has a better grasp of what’s going on. All the politics and subtle maneuvering and the ongoing struggle to truly communicate effectively with Atevi (and in turn how being immersed in Atevi culture makes it hard for Bren to communicate with humans) are extremely my shit.
