Book was confusing. Didn’t realize the narrator (ancillary) and the spaceship was one and the same until third of the way into the book. Also, the author did not make clear what “Justice”, “Mercy”, and “Sword” (which I assume is rank or title in her universe) is. I would think this is pretty important in her trilogy.
