Ann Leckie: The Raven Tower (Paperback, 2019, Orbit) 4 stars

Listen. A god is speaking. My voice echoes through the stone of your master's castle. …

This was my first Ann Leckie book, and I liked it! I found the world-building from the perspective of a god that thinks on much longer time-scales than that of humans (or even other Gods) surprisingly interesting, definitely enjoyed the way this character's narration built the world for me quite a bit more than what's happening so far in Ancillary Justice.

The whole trilogy was pretty satisfying, and my favorite part about this third entry was learning about the precursor civilization. So many feels re: Nassun and Essun!
