Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie

John Scalzi likes her, which is good enough for me, and I enjoyed this book very much. Very different take on a space-faring empire; this one uses reanimated corpses as soldiers, all part of one AI brain . . . yet they're not quite a hive mind, and one goes rogue. Somewhat reminiscent of "Murderbot" except not. Complicated and intriguing, very well written, and the villain is . . . unexpected. It's the first of a trilogy so I shall be visiting the library for book two soon.
Found myself re-reading The Talisman Ring by Georgette Heyer, why not.
I am behind on the Rivers of London books; our library doesn't have them all, perhaps I'll have to buy Lies Sleeping?
I am a dreamer of words, of written words.
