I understand how this book might not be everyone's cup of tea, for it does waffle a lot on the worldbuilding and the politics of tea in the Radch. I like sci-fi that focuses on the politics of empire, so this continues to be right up my alley.
It also does rely somewhat on the scifi ship sensors in its crew to convey emotions of characters, which i point out as something that might bother others, but not myself. I think the quirks really work for me, I continue to enjoy the single gender language and be enthralled by the characters... this doesn't feel as driven towards the series plot as the first book, but I enjoyed it as much as the the pilot.
