Matthew answers “Will I be lost if I have never read the...”

Harry Jahnke asked this question about Provenance (Imperial Radch):

Will I be lost if I have never read the Radch trilogy?

Matthew As someone who read Provenance with no prior knowledge of Leckie's other books, I would highly recommend going into it after reading her other works. …moreAs someone who read Provenance with no prior knowledge of Leckie's other books, I would highly recommend going into it after reading her other works. There are some things that needed a solid explanation that you just don't get within this novel.

And in my opinion, the book suffers from that. It really should be labelled as being part of the larger series (complete with a number). I would not go into a series at book 4 and rate it as if it was standalone, but I have to do that here. (less)
