This book is an amazing combination of tense action scenes and people processing their feelings.

I'm always happy to read Atwood. This is off to a great start, and I was quickly pulled in to the story.

That was tense!

Leckie's writing is delightful as always -- intriguing and perceptive and wryly funny.

Fascinated by all the topics and turns in the plot.

Excited about concluding this great trilogy!

Gripping!

Continues to be a cool mix of mystery, politics, characters with problems.

Fascinating story and characters.

This is wonderful. I just read the fascinating section about her childhood OCD and how that manifested in her journalling.

Been intending to read this for a long time, and I finally picked it up because I get to go see the musical when I visit NYC in November!

Great, powerful, beautifully written.

Unexpectedly switched to other characters' viewpoints for a bit, which was a welcome change.

Just a great story.

Finding this a slog.

Loving the main character and empathizing with her struggles to get along at college, as she finds she no longer fits in with her family.

Gorgeous writing: "Janice and Rabbit would meet in this chamber, with the dim light and green floor like something underwater, and push at the one unchained door, push up into the light, and walk, never admitting they were going there, toward the silver medallions, hand in hand tired walking gently against the current of home-going traffic, and make love with the late daylight coming level in the window."

This is great: the narrator's voice, her family, the situation she's in are all real and compelling.

Quickly pulled into the story!

This continues to be an excellent family story.

Enjoying this quiet story.

Really like the way this is developing, though what's happening to the characters is not something to like at all!

I've had this book on my shelf for a few years and didn't remember anything of what the story was about, so diving in cold is a fun experience.

Great fast-paced summer read.

More and more intriguing!

Fun story, fun characters.

Intriguing mix of plotlines.

Looks like this is going to be an excellent family story!

Love this! So much fascinating historical and scientific detail, wrapped up in wonderful characters and a compelling story.

Dragged some in the middle, but things are picking up again.
