Really enjoyed this read! Needed a definite Leckie fix after finishing the trilogy but it just left me wanting me so I have to read the other short novella prequel to see if that will quench hunger. I sincerely think it will have the opposite effect. xD

While I definitely enjoyed this novella (if that's not the right terminology, someone correct me) I wish I knew more about how this fell into the scheme of the Radchaii overhaul. I have to go back and check where this is mentioned in Ancillary Justice. I also would like to dissect how the construction of this novella because Leckie's writing is genius. The mention of Kels' Vonda experience and the ending were just beautifully paralleled.
