Leckie is not for everyone, she doesn't spoon feed, but writes for adults with adult vocabulary and complex themes, that go pretty weird in places. I cannot begin to describe what happens in this book, literary, sci-fi, twisty politics, horror, but also kind of cozy. I would urge people to just jump in and if the visceral bits are too disturbing, just bail.
I loved it, I don't think it was perfect but by god was it original. Strong pick!
