I finished Ancillary Sword today. I was a little bit disappointed with it to be honest, particularly as I thought Ancillary Justice was fantastic. I enjoy the world building and development but one could almost sleep through this novel. Not a lot happens in the book really. I read a review on Goodreads that suggested this was Downton Abbey in space and whilst this may be a little unkind I can see where the reviewer was coming from. I'm still with the series and would like to read Ancillary Mercy but I wasn't particularly overawed.
