Criticism Of Books Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch #1)

This really seems to be a case of a bandwagon gone insane. I was looking forward to this book after seeing very high recommendations from a lot of high-profile people: Veronica Belmont, John Scalzi (I think?), Felicia Day, NPR books, I know I am forgetting more... and nearly every review here is five stars. How could I not love this one? Well, recently, I have discovered that I am really not fitting in with the mainstream. I have had terrible luck lately with ridiculously popular books and

Fantasy Review BarnA book picked up purely on the hype, I would have skipped it otherwise. The cover blurb sounds ridiculous, the main character used to be a ship? What could that even mean? But in came the early reviews. They talked about many different things but seemed pretty unanimous in one aspect; the book was praised everywhere I looked. But hype is a funny thing, and while it has often been enough to get me interested it just as often disappoints. Was this going to be one of those books

you know, one shuffles up and down the stacks at the bookstore and hopes each time that the next sf book one reads will:be well-writtenhave at least one character you care aboutbe well-plottedhave intelligent commentaryinclude some aliens who are really alien, or,include some humans who are not quite human andleave you with something really knotty to think about.actually finding one happens about once a year, and it feels like a gift from the gods.in this case it's a gift from Ann Leckie, whom i

One of the most intelligent, original, and complex works of science-fiction I've read in ages.

If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review.Warning: Rant follows. Knowledgeable responses to SF require a certain apprenticeship; its impossible to approach SF criticism without a certain familiarity with many SF texts. Just as a wonderfully articulate casual reader cannot simply pick up The Divine Comedy or The Name of the Rose and begin a nuanced enjoyment of both books, a SF newbie must work her or his way into the specialized narrative structures and vocabulary of SF. The

Chucked at 10%. I should have known better. How many times have I seen all those awards listed in a blurb and been suckered into trying a book?I'm just not doing it. Maybe it gets better, but no. I'm not getting trapped into losing a couple of months of my life because I'm determined to finish a China Miéville/Gene Wolfe-type experience. Maybe I'm not smart enough to grasp this genre.Or more likely, I just don't give a damn.

OK, Ann Leckie owes my students an apology. I picked this book up at Barnes & Noble because I know Ann and wanted to help make sure she moved copies of the book early in its release, knowing full well that I don't have time to do any pleasure reading until the semester is over. Well, I made the mistake of flipping it open, and now I'm four days behind in my grading. And it's all this book's fault.Ann Leckie has a real gift for clarity which I admire greatly. This book should have been a
