Rated Translation State 8/10

I loved 80% of this book! I think the character work is great, a bunch of it is something that you could almost construe as a school drama but in such a neat way that it doesn't feel rote, really excellent writing as always from Leckie! My only complaint is that the last section of the book switches to a more action centred climax when what I really wanted was more internality from the leads about the transformation we've spent the book talking about, which instead happens offscreen and we do not see their perspectives on the process or its results and anything about how they've changed. Give me a sequel where we see more of Qven and Reet in their new life if that's what it takes to give me more about how they're new, but I would have liked that to be the last quarter of the book instead of the climax we got
