Ancillary Sword

I really like the Radch world and the questions of agency, justice and gender its human-and-machine hybrid society poses. And yet, this book felt too trapped in a small planet's colonial plot? It dragged in parts and I had a hard time keeping the characters apart.

As it's been a while since I read the first one, I would have appreciated a glossary, to help me get back into the world's unique terminology.
