![]() I don't think it's necessary to have read the Imperial Radch trilogy before this (though I highly recommend it) as while it does take place in the same universe, it is in a different part of it with different characters. Qven, the juvenile Translator, is far and away my favorite character, but I loved the other two main characters as well. ![]() The book is fast paced and engaging, and even when the different characters have to deal with the bureaucratic elements life in inter-species space requires it never gets bogged down. This sets off events that could potentially endanger all of humanity. ![]() Their three stories are set on a collision course when the human is given a busy work job that sie ends up taking seriously. The book follows three main characters, one human, one juvenile Translator, and one who grew up human but maybe isn't quite. ![]() ![]() This book gives that and they are just as alien-yet-also-human as I had hoped. Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies of all time, and one aspect I loved and desperately wanted to know more about was the entire concept of the Presgr Translators. Translation State was exactly the book I wanted. ![]()
