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.

I have honestly no clue how this place works.
But, it seems kinds quiet and local - feels nice.

Here is what I do.
Write.
