Felicia's Reviews > Ancillary Justice

I'm almost wanting to give this five stars, because I LOVED it, but the first section of the book is very confusing ( in some ways by choice) and I think that could put some people off so there you go. 4 1/2 stars, ha!

This is a great sci-fi adventure following a character who is not man nor woman, and don't even try to figure it out, that's the confusing part. But the character is fomerly HUNDREDS of people, and a spaceship. All at once. Yeah, ok once you can wrap that around your head, it's SO GOOD this book. How the author accomplishes the changes of POV when someone is more than one person, is beyond me. It was deftly handled. And the plot is gripping and interesting, the other characters flawed but fascinating, and I was angry when the book came to a close, because I wanted the next one SO BAD.

Like I said, the whole gender thing was confusing (the lack and confusion of the main character about said subject), I understand it's a big idea and concept that is clever and unique, but I'm not sure I followed it entirely. A re-read would help. And maybe I'm just so weighted in NEEDING a gender for characters that I couldn't back up and relax about it? Who knows. Anyway, definitely a great book, makes sci-fi character based, and great world building. Highly recc!
