Didn't like it quite as much as the first one, but saw some damn fine vulnerable moments with Breq. Needs more Anaander Mianaai, but I found Lt. Tisarwat's concept pretty compelling. Still looking forward to the next one.

A bit meandering at times with the world building, but some good, juicy sci-fi. Really keen to see where it goes.

Light speed lag preventing complete hive mind synchronization as a limiting factor for the size of a stellar empire ruled by a multi-body collective is DELICIOUS. Breq is pretty badass too.

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.
Laios is such a weirdo and I love him. "There has to be some way to eat this suit of living armor! I don't care if it's made out of metal!"

Pretty interesting so far. I was kinda getting sick of 2nd person narration after running into it in another recent read, but this one at least does it a teensy bit better switching it up between 2nd person and 1st person than Harrow the Ninth.

A very different book from previous entries in the Old Man's War series. Probably my least favorite so far, but still pretty decent and set up some interesting changes in the series' universe. Curious to see what direction Scalzi takes it in in the next two.
THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME.
The Moon will soon …
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!
