Once again, it was a short story collection that stood out in June. Leckie is a big thinker and a phenomenal writer—everything she writes is weird and compelling and wonderful. I get most of it but not all of it and that‘s okay. Reading her writing expands my understanding the of the world/universe we live in—and where we might find ourselves in the future—and that makes for an excellent reading experience.

Leckie is always interesting, always thought provoking, always challenging me (as the reader) to think and engage from a different perspective. This is as true in her short stories collected here, as it is in her long form fiction. Some stories were unexpected—there is one told from the perspective of a dragonfly—while others were a return to the familiar worlds of the Imperial Radch and The Raven Tower. A good read for fans of her work.
