Thoughts
Just want to get a quick thought in about Ancillary Justice, which I finished today. It’s one of the only books I’ve ever read that had me
addicted, can’t put it down, not because of threats or anxiety or cliffhangers or the usual tools that authors use, but because of my own curiosity. Most books alternate advancing the plot and advancing your understanding of the world, but somehow Ancillary Justice does both at the same time (which is insane because they’re not the same). The exposition of the book, introducing the characters and the threat, ends 2/3 of the way through the book, but the plot started on the first page. Somehow you’re given just enough information to appreciate what’s going on right now while still having questions about what’s going to happen.
