More characters and crazy made-up names and factions than even in The Goblin Emperor's Elflands

Fantastic interesting premise; WAY over-written. People love Ann Leckie, but woof.

Ch. 3: I remember now why I shied away from Translation State. It's got a gruesome edge. Very gruesome.

If you squint this is kinda the same plot as Steven universe

One small note on the neo-pronouns: I’m not a huge fan of the use of them in this book overall; I think the Radch’s worldbuilding of recognising fewer social genders is more interesting and intuitive than this which suggests a larger number of social genders. However, I find that it kind of takes me out of the story whenever the neo-pronouns have obviously been forgotten, such as on page 132 :/

I like it so far! The mix of perspectives is probably a good thing, although I do find myself most interested when we get to Qven’s pov. Still, the mix between pov’s reminds me of Ancillary Justice in a good way. So far Translation State feels closer in tone to Justice than to Sword or Mercy, which I am happy about. Presger worldbuilding continues to be wacky as hell 👍
