PART OF THE HUGO-AWARD WINNING SERIES

'Thrilling, out-of-this world stuff' Stylist
Following her record-breaking debut trilogy, Ann Leckie, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke and Locus Awards, returns with a thrilling new story of power, theft, privilege and birthright.
A power-driven young woman has just one chance to secure the status she craves and regain priceless lost artefacts prized by her people. She must free their thief from a prison planet from which no one has ever returned.
Ingray and her charge will return to their home world to find their planet in political turmoil, at the heart of an escalating interstellar conflict. Together, they must make a new plan to salvage Ingray's future, her family, and her world, before they are lost to her for good.
The Imperial Radch trilogy begins with Ancillary Justice, continues in Ancillary Sword and concludes with Ancillary Mercy.
Also available now: Provenance is a stunning standalone adventure set in the same world as Ancillary Justice. NPR calls it 'A fitting addition to the Ancillary world'.©2017 Ann Leckie (P)2017 Little Brown Book Group

The story itself was only OK for me, no real depth or connection with any of the characters.
I didn't like the universe itself. For some reason the main planet involved in the story didn't seem to know their whole system of revering cultural artifacts(mostly fakes) is viewed as a joke by the rest of the systems. They are interstellar travellers after all. Also how do they not know what a known alien species looks like, that would have surely made the news by this point.
I'm in no way upset to have used a credit on this book but I can only regard it as a time filler. All just the opinion of an ill educated fossil. :)
OK I guess
