Amanda’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch, #1)

Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch, #1) by Ann Leckie

3 highlights

“Yes I would like he thinks to live in such a way that I could vanish into thin air at any time without affecting anyone and in fact I feel that for me this would constitute the perfect and perhaps the only acceptable life. At the same time I want desperately to be loved.”
