Ancillary Justice: THE HUGO, NEBULA AND ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD WINNER

That, quite frankly, was a dang good read. A fascinating, truly unique Sci fi adventure that challenges even some of our most basic 21st century constructs.

Genuinely wish I could vote 4.5, engaging novel with interesting development, the rhytmn of the language provides a systematic course throurgh the narrative, a part of me feels that a bit of linguistic flair (i am, oddly, drawn to an almost hard boiled lyricism) may have lead to story development being interspersed with emotional reverberation. Though, evidently, my sentence, structure and grammar throughout highlight the dangers of idiots detailing their response to wonderful books. Easily a 9/ 10, thanks

Use of female gender even to refer to male characters is very distracting, as if the author is trying too hard to make a point. I also found it hard to retain interest in the dual time line (past and present) alternating chapters. Although there are clearly some good ideas and potential for an interesting story, I was unable to maintain enough interest to keep reading, tho this may be because I prefer a simpler style of writing. Three stars for effort.
