One of the most confusing books I've ever read! But it was a confusion that made some sense, in a way. Ann Leckie's writing and plot development here was incredible. The world-building was so complex and the non-linear narrative only added to that. There were so many questions and comments on personhood and citizenship and civilization and colonialism. 

I had trouble knowing when I was and who I was with and what was going on at first. That meant that, when I started to connect certain dots and subplots together, I was beyond hooked. I loved the journey this book took me on and all it made me question about this universe. The twists and turns were all excellently written, and I know I'll be thinking about them for quite some time!
