For a moment, things seemed to be under control for Breq, the soldier who used to be a warship. Then a search of Atheok Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist, and a messenger from the mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai - ruler of an empire at war with itself.

Breq refuses to flee with her ship and crew, because that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.

I know I should like this book. But I don't.

I get tired of the talk of breakfast and tea. The voyeurism of private conversation and personal heartbreak. The totally unprofessional military officers. And I can't believe the AI are that stupid. It just doesn't work for me. It's like The Culture crossed with Downton Abbey.
