“Now that’s something different! I’m not bored of buckets yet!”
I'm re-reading #AncillarySword, and I'm glad Translator Dlique has shown up. We get to see Presger translators more closely in Translation State, but they are much funnier in Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy

I started #AncillaryJustice by #AnnLeckie because it was on a list of books that were said to be similar to #StarWars: #Andor. The resemblance is interesting.
In a space fairing collection of civilizations, the #Radch rules as an empire over others. Power is gained by the "illbred" by #colonizing land not already controlled by the Radch, a tale at least as old as the #RomanEmpire.
At some point, the technology to create Ancillaries. An #ancillary is a human that is under AI control. In this future, slave drivers directly control slaves without freewill creating conflict: an absolutely unrelatable concept that does not strike fear into my heart/s.
The protagonist, #Breq, was once an #AI that controlled a ship and many ancillaries. Something caused the destruction of her ship and the deaths of all of her ancillaries but the one they inhabit now. Breq is on a quest to kill the person who destroyed her ship, the Lord of the Radch, which doesn't sound at all like Lord of the Reich/s.
It is a fun space opera. For me, the shear revolutionary joy of Andor that it might have is blurred by the strangeness of the #Radchaai culture, which I did enjoy.
I am reading the #AncillarySword now. The #spaceopera is an excellent #diversion.

CW: Ancillary Sword (Quote)
Bo Ten rose, and just slightly slurrily begged the lieutenant’s indulgence, and, receiving it, declared her intention to recite her own poetry.
...
Bo Ten’s declaration met with cheers of approval, even from Lieutenant Tisarwat, and so Ten launched into what turned out to be an epic, largely improvised narrative of the deeds of the god Kalr. Who, according to Bo Ten’s account, was drunk a lot of the time and rhymed very badly. -
