This would be a hard book to recommend to everyone, but I found myself really liking it!
It kinda feels like Twelve Angry Men mixed with Akira levels of body horror and although that is super weird and I found it fascinating. That also isn't a great comparison, so I guess its like, a very weird and cool episode of Star Trek (l0l).
This probably shouldn't have been my first foray into Leckie but I'm not mad it was! I found the world to be quite interesting and its approach to a non-gendered universe refreshing. That being said, this book is about 80% dialogue so if you're not a fan of books with heavy discussion and less action, this probably isn't for you. For me, I found it intriguing and thoughtful!
