I finished The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie a few days ago. Though it had a bit of a slow start for me, when it grabbed me I really enjoyed the ride.

I’m hesitant to write too much about it. When I recommend her previous work, Ancillary Justice, I tell people to go in as cold as possible… ideally don’t even read the book summary. Half the joy of Ancillary Justice for me was the experience of figuring out just who your main character was. In The Raven Tower, I feel similarly… there’s a real joy in experiencing the story unfold around you with as few markers to guide the way as possible.
