I found this one a bit sloggier to get through compared to Ancillary Justice. I guess maybe because I didn't feel like Breq had quite as much of a bond with any of the characters, except maybe Seivarden. I set this book down for a week or so to read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, which maybe was doing it a disservice, but also which is often a sign that I'm not really enjoying the book all that much.
