Translation State, by Ann Leckie

I said I should do something other than read a book, then I went and read a book.

Translation State, by Ann Leckie
Very good, and deeply weird. Kind of disturbing but partly because it makes the uncomfortable bits seem really ordinary for one of the more alien points of view. And just when you start thinking that yeah they're basically human things go full weird and they're really really really distinctive.
Good story.

Read it all in a row and now have to notice I have a tiny headache and possibly should have ate a food or something in there.
Shall go chug a ribena now...

I just finished rereading all of Ann Leckie’s Radch books. The Presger and the Translators are very weird. I’m looking forward to the new book later this year.

After that I reread Butterfly Effects again because it’s been living in my head. There was a lot of fixing things, but she did pull it off. I’m interested to see where she goes next with the series. I’m sure Mark and Cici will get pulled in at some point. I mean, she wants to be a lawyer for the cryptid community.

I did a reread just now too and the Translators are indeed very weird but even more interesting with the Translation book.

and *nods a lot*
