Description
Nii alustab oma jutustust romaani peategelane Breq, kes on poolenisti robot, poolenisti zombi ja kes palju aastaid tagasi oli planeet Shis’urna orbiidil transpordialuseks.
Võimas kosmoseimpeerium, mis on aastatuhandete jooksul üha suuremaks paisunud, on nüüd silmitsi tugeva vastasega. Olukorda ei tee lihtsamaks seegi, et impeeriumi praktiliselt surematu valitseja on lasknud endast teha lugematul hulgal kloone, kes kõik on mööda ilmaruumi laiali.
Kui Breq alustab oma kättemaksuretke, et õiglus taas jalule seada, vallandab see ettearvamatute tagajärgedega ahelreaktsiooni. Ent see pole kaugeltki kõik.
Kui lugu nii lihtne oleks, poleks autor Ann Leckie debüütromaan pälvinud ingliskeelse ulme kõiki nelja tähtsamat auhinda.

Don't believe the hype!! I had such high hopes for this book following all of the reviews, award, etc. but unfortunately this was not my cup of tea at all! Ok, being completely honest, I found much of the book to be flat & dull with its rambling conversations which certainly didn't grab my attention as I had hoped. I can only sum it up as disappointing!!!
It took me a while to get into this book. I couldn't seem to get one long stretch to read and get immersed in the world, so I kept losing track of the terminology and historical events. But by the end, I was engrossed in the story, and cared about the characters. The final confrontation was exciting and set up the next book well without feeling cheap or obvious. I am looking forward to the next book.
