Finished all 3 books in the Imperial Radch trilogy: Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Sword, and Ancillary Mercy.

Possible spoilers, but not really.

It took me 20% of the book and over 3 weeks (I had to re-new my library loan) to get into Ancillary Justice. A big reason I did was because a friend looked up stuff about the book and gave me just enough spoilers that I could keep going without all the spoilers.

I understood what was going on from the outset and the many/one perspective as not an issue, but I missed the length of the time-jump, or at least could not retain the length. I know people get irritated when key points are reiterated throughout a book, but that one needed to be. I also did not like the narrator until probably 80% of the way into the book. The authors goal is that you never forget what the narrator is, but I was disgusted by the way these ancillaries were made. It is at least discussed, if not addressed to resolution, that the ancillaries themselves are not responsible for how they are made.
