Quite different than the "Ancillary" books (which I also loved). It is set in the same universe, but among the people of the Hwae planet, and it's actual a mystery. And I love mysteries, so what could be better?

Our protagonist, Ingray Aughskold, is the daughter of a very powerful politician. She's young, insecure, and she's trying to do something audacious to win her mother's approval. I liked her, I was captivated by the mystery, and on the edge of my seat to see how she'd pull off the dramatic events at the end.

Highly recommended.
