Murder mystery

3 stars

I got hung up on the murder mystery plot, which is not my jam. I dug some of the cultural interactions and really appreciated the ease and casualness that Leckie included e/eir pronouns for people beyond the binary.

Review of 'Provenance' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Loved this and, as always, wish I was better at reviews. I have Ancillary Justice on my to-read list but came across Provenance on the new book shelf at my library in the same library system the author calls out in her acknowledgements! We do have a wonderful library system in St. Louis.

I love a good manners book, and Provenance is a manners book with more than one twist. I enjoyed the cultures butting against each other, and a hero struggling to determine what's right for her, her family, her friends, her culture, and others--and what choices to make when these conflict. Looking forward to reading the Imperial Radch series.
