And so I immediately bought and read Ancillary Sword by Leckie and Caliban, Corey's war as soon as they came out . And disappointment came. Total. The worst, for me of course, was Ancillary Sword : an endless series of gossip and chatter from the servant and futile disquisitions on dinner sets. And complete confusion about who was man and who was woman, so much so that I couldn't imagine the characters, except Breq, the protagonist, and Seivarden, an officer, who I had already identified in the first novel. For others, the masculine and feminine were used interchangeably, even in the same period.
The critics define it as superior to the first volume, the writer's debut novel, so either the critics have questionable tastes or I don't understand anything about good literature - little, but for sure - or I don't know Special Data what to think. Regarding Caliban, the war - I don't understand this translation, when the original title is Caliban's War , therefore "Caliban's War" - well, who or what is this Caliban? Because in the novel, 500-odd pages, this word is never mentioned. Perhaps it is a name of Shakespearean memory, Caliban, a monster who appears in the comedy The Tempest . A novel, however, which is not at all superior to the first, on the contrary, it adds nothing to the story. I wasn't passionate about him, I even found him slow at times. Certainly with the Leckie trilogy I'll stop at the first 2. With the Corey saga too, almost certainly.
I certainly won't follow her through all 9 volumes. What do you think, are there any sequels that disappointed you? Do you generally like them? Has anyone read those 2 science fiction novels?He caressed her face, which seemed strangely cold to him. He then tore off her dress, took off his trousers and penetrated her forcefully. The girl was terrified, the man thought, she didn't move or say a word. She hoped that he had hurt her while deflowering her, even though that type of woman was so proud that he would never admit it. During intercourse the man had frantically groped and kissed that body which remained inert, without heat, like a silent surrender to that manifestation of authority and power. T
