Due to the previous book I am already invested in the characters so I trudged through this one. I enjoyed learning more about our hero(ine) the ship and her relationships. However, I did feel that I there was a too much time spent discussing oppression and the consequences of intervening or not intervening. This was OK, but nowhere near as good as Ancillary Justice, the first book in the trilogy. I’m hoping that the final book will get back up to that standard. This just felt a bit like ‘a sagging middle’. This criticism aside, Leckie still does a really good of depicting a society where gender is disregarded and the language does not distinguish between genders. Leckie does this by referring to everyone as ‘she’ and it’s surprising how quickly you accept this. Although I thought that she had a difficulty when she started referring to someone’s ‘mother’ but never mentioning the person’s ‘father’, since Leckie would like us to assume that word does not exist. I’m not sure that works, since presumably even in such a society there is a difference between the sperm provider and the individual who bears the child to term. Would ‘mother’ only be used for the latter, or for both? Not quite as good as the predecessor, [b:Ancillary Justice|17333324|Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch, #1)|Ann Leckie|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397215917s/17333324.jpg|24064628], but pretty close. If you haven't already read Ancillary Justice, then do so. If you have, then go ahead and read this one. I doubt you will be disappointed. The quoted reviews of the second of the trilogy bear testament to the continuation of a great space opera series. It is self evidently, but what strikes one more is that these are dramas of some sophistication about personality, class, manners. This is even more marked of course in 'Provenace', which came after the ‘Imperial Radch’ trilogy, but this middle book of the series demonstrates Leckie’s intelligence and skill, painting a picture on what could seem a familiar canvas in a new way.

What if you once had thousands of bodies and near god-like technology at your disposal? And what if all of it were ripped away? The Lord of the Radch has given Breq command of the ship Mercy of Kalr and sent her to the only place she would have agreed to go -- to Athoek Station, where Lieutenant Awn's sister works in Horticulture. Athoek was annexed some six hundred years ago, and by now everyone is fully civilized -- or should be. But everything is not as tranquil as it appears. Old divisions are still troublesome, Athoek Station's AI is unhappy with the situation, and it looks like the alien Presger might have taken an interest in what's going on. With no guarantees that interest is benevolent. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Como obra intermedia en la trilogía la disfrute bastante, toda la acción transcurre en una base espacial y la trama que se presenta se resuelve en el mismo libro, por lo que no quedamos con la necesidad inmediata de continuar con su conclusión. Por lo mismo es un libro que nos prepara ya para la resolución del problema principal que se nos mostro en "Justicia Auxiliar", ahondando más en la política, economía y problemas sociales que están ocurriendo a lo largo del Imperio Radch.
La excesiva cantidad de información que critique del primer libro (sobre todo en las primeras 100 páginas) ahora esta mejor dosificada, hay mucho desarrollo del mundo, y se nota el gran trabajo de la autora en mostrarnos todos los aspectos de la sociedad que ha creado. Aunque salvo la parte final no hay momentos de gran acción pero no se siente para nada aburrido o lento, es más, se lee muy rápido. Esto mismo hace que mi calificación no sea mayor, aunque me encanta los detalles y todo lo referente a la creación de personajes y el universo mismo los "problemas" que se presentan me parecieron obvios desde el primer momento y salvo un pequeño detalle en el final nada me sorprendió, ni el problema mismo ni su resolución.
Eso si me gusta mucho la relación de nuestra protagonista con las "canciones" que ha ido conociendo a lo largo de sus cientos de años y como estos son una mejor forma de comunicación, más que las palabras mismas.
En conclusión una obra entretenida, muy fácil de leer, que aunque no tiene grandes sorpresas nos presenta un buen desarrollo de personajes y creación de mundo, sirviendo de puente, espero, para un gran desenlace. ( )
