Someone mentioned it around the time I read the books the very first time. https://hatsoffgentlemen.bandcamp.com/album/out-of-mind?t=2

I’d preordered this and got it the day it was published, but I put off starting it as I was sure it would be good and I wouldn’t get anything else done. I was right. Haven’t been able to put it down. I can even listen to it just sitting down with no urge to pick up any printed text (if you’ve heard me talk about audiobooks before you know how incredible that is to me).

Edward Kelley was the first article I edited on wikipedia in 2003 (I've been on wikipedia for a bit) . My great great grand aunt was reputedly a powerful witch. She got swindled in a land deal and made the land in question fallow. Apparently to this day nothing grows on it.
My own experiences for a large part I will only talk about in general terms, allusively or both. I do supplemental introductions later. Here are a few more hashtags:

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...

In line last night to get books signed by Martha Wells and Ann Leckie. Ann Leckie MC'd a talk with Martha Wells and they were both an absolute delight! #marthawells #thewitchking #annleckie #translationstate

At first so frustrated by all the strange words and concepts that I thought about tossing the book a time or three.
Persevered and very glad I did.
Started to enjoy it when I saw the Radch as a version of 19th century British imperialists.
Great story, interesting characters and so many things to think about.

Ann Leckie: Ancillary Justice
I tried reading it when it first came out and bounced of hard. 10 years later I finally finished and very much enjoyed it in the end. Modern space opera at its best 🚀🪐

357 followers · 1499 posts · Server mastodon.scotJust finished Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice trilogy. Hugely enjoyable. Science fiction’s ability to present different possibilities is so welcome & her AIs are very much more nuanced than present debate would allow.
It is one of the reasons I love Iain M Banks’ Culture world - the AIs were the quirky stars of his novels!
PS please don’t @ me with a flood of techie detail!

The ebooks (from Hachette) are DRM-encumbered, and I don't buy DRM-damaged ebooks. So, Hachette: sale you just lost. I'm sure Tor has some unmarred ebooks I can get.

Radchaai cat. (Note her tiny gloves, her tea, and her air of knowing precisely what constitutes being "civilized.")

327 followers · 1169 posts · Server glasgow.socialStarted to read Ancillary Mercy, but it’s been nearly three years since I read the first two, so have instead read from the beginning. Still as brilliant as the first time through.
Gotta love a February half-term for allowing uninterrupted reading time.

Always Coming Home by Ursula K Le Guin
The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie
The Kushiel Series by Jacqueline Carey
Discworld by Terry Pratchett
The Black Jewels Series by Ann Bishop
Immortal Guardian Series by Diane Duvalls
Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin
Any other suggestions for me?
