A re-read. I really love this series. The universe Leckie has created is inventive, but also clearly a reflection of our own. A menacing external threat, a mysterious internal threat, and a completely inventive and intriguing narrator. If it had a space battle, it might be one of my most favorite sci-fi books ever.
Amazing, with a capital A. It's been a while since a book grabbed me this quickly and this hard.
