REVIEW:
Multi-award winning author Ann Leckie returns to her universe established in the Ancillary series with great aplomb in this new (currently) standalone novel that takes a more personal interest in her principle character. Its well written works wonderfully well into the established rich tapestry of imagination and of course brings top notch plot to the reader.
Whilst you can read this without having read her previous work, if you won't have a good understanding of the universe as worldbuilding is less in this title having already been established in other books.
All round a cracking title and one that delivers what the reader wants. Its easy to see why she's won so many awards. Magic.
