I didn’t like Ancillary Justice that much. I loved some of the themes and how the world works, but narratively it felt like it was always pushing too hard to be dramatic. I think I’ll finish the rest of the series at some point, but it’s not quite for me.
I LOVED Ancillary Justice, but all the set up just falls kinda flat in the next books. Or at least, the rest is just… Not really in the same vibe? It’s hard to explain…
I read the trilogy recently and agree. She very much embraced the “shared universe, but different stories” author arc, instead of falling into the tropey “everything in this universe revolves around these 6 charectors you love forever” style that is way more common.
Gideon the Ninth. Very different, very fun.

Ah, fair enough. Though I’d probably swap Gideon and Ancillary.
Ancilliary is not 2019 though, and I don’t know if it’s lesbian enough. The rest of it fits though, I have to admit.

I still really liked the follow up two, but definitely a different vibe
