moki's review against another edition
4.25
I liked this one a lot more than the previous one! I think the plot was less 'big picture', but it was also more grounded and well paced and a lot less muddied. Watching Breq/Toren make decisions and take care of the people under them is very fun. I liked the character- rather than plot-driven nature, and I LOVED the political intrigue, which was complicated enough that I didn't feel pandered to, but also felt so logical that when things lined up I nodded along like "Yep, mhm, makes sense."
I also love how Breq/Toren moved away from personal justice to justice on a larger level. Really excited to read the third!
