Started Reading Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

I just started reading Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie and I am pretty interested.

Actually, I am half reading, half listening since I am reading on the Kindle App on my iPad.

I really enjoy the Kindle App since it allows me to read on multiple devices – on my iPad when I'm sitting in my lazy chair or in bed, on my iPhone when I'm going for a quick walk to get in some exercise, or on my computer when I am sitting in my home office.

It even gives me the option to listen to the book so if I go for a run or while I'm playing games, I can multitask.

This particular book is narrated by Celeste Ciulla, and so far, I think she has done a pretty good job.

While I'm only a chapter in, the author has done a good job of setting the scene of what is going on…

The protagonist starts out in the middle of nowhere on an out of the way planet where she finds someone she knew 1000 years ago. That alone is interesting, but then we learn she is not a human, this is science fiction after all, and she has been pretending to be human for 19 years for some reason.

There are hints of a vast Radch space empire and military ships, of which both characters seem to be involved and a weird confusion about gender that features enough in the chapter that I figure it will be relevant as the story progresses.

So far, I'd say I'm interested and I think I'll keep reading to see what becomes of the two characters.
