Also available in Galactic Empires.

A good novella about a flight through an area of space to a planet that virtually impenetrable.   But the Radch want that planet and when the Radch want something they won't stop until they get it.

Yes, it's set in the same universe as the Imperial Radch Trilogy, but it's completely unrelated to those books.   I found it good to read it straight after i finished the trilogy.

Next up in this universe is She Commands Me and I Obey.

Bye for now. ( )

Short Story prequel with the same setting as Ancillary Justice ( )

A story set in the Imperial Radch universe but from the perspective of a world that the Radch is trying to conquer. It was interesting, but I also didn't quite...get all of it, I think. I'm not sure if it's me being dense, me misunderstanding something important, me needing info from the rest of the series that I don't recall, or if the story just doesn't have as much info as I would have liked due to it being so short. ( )

I have the feeling I'm going to need to reread the first Ancillary book to pick out the characters from this prequel story, but more and more I'm getting a distinct feeling. The several short stories I've read of Ms. Leckie all deal with small gods and their place in the universe, and the novels, while structured differently, are well within the same feel.

The people that make up the gods is the biggest question that's posed. What carries over? What songs are retained?

I enjoyed this one mainly in reflection of the questions that are posed in much greater detail later. ( )

The last line was fantastic. ( )
