review:
This is the fifth book in the Imperial Radch universe. A standalone 'sequel' to the Ancillary trilogy, it continues the wonder of aliens, genders, and technology - all wrapped up in drama of the highest quality that makes for a fine space opera. The ending might leave a milder taste for some, but it has a lot going on underneath that keeps those interested in hard science still intrigued. I waited for a while to buy this, until I finally came across it in a local bookshop and then I bought it immediately. I read this book within a day - and suffered from withdrawal because I enjoyed reading all of it and it ended quite soon.,
