{5\/5} “I had no reason to think badly of her. On the contrary, her manners were those of an educated, well-bred person of good family. Not toward me, of course — I wasn’t a person, I was a piece of equipment, a part of the ship. But I had never particularly cared for her.”<\/p>\n
Ancillary Justice<\/strong> by Ann Leckie, published in 2013<\/p>\n Breq used to be an ancillary — used to be part of a ship — but was now alone. She has business to take care of — she’s on the trail of a gun she’ll use to kill the Lord of the Radch. But Breq stops and rescues Seivarden, who would have otherwise died — she knew Seivarden years ago when she was a ship and Seivarden was a lieutenant.<\/p>\n The story grabs you right away and pulls you into its unique world.<\/p>\n It’s about what happens when you — a person or a ship — have thousands of bodies. It’s about what it means to be human, and what it means to be a good human.<\/p>\n The stunning climax ensures that you’ll read the sequel.<\/p>\n This is the 1st book by Leckie I’ve read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {5\/5} “I had no reason to think badly of her.
