This week I've been mainly reading, no. 129.

Ann Leckie's Translation State (2023) is a #scifi tale of negotiation between (intergalactic) civilisations, leavened with a story of belonging & (re)made families. While, highly focussed (the set-piece negotiations are half the book), its a fascinating work of invention that breezes along through multiple perspectives. Elements are left unexplained but it hardly matters as the narrative itself carries you along. I really enjoyed it.

My favourite line in recent science fiction is in Translation State: a juvenile Presger translator saying, "I'm a princex in disguise!"
