I couldn't get in to Ancillary Justice
Oh, really? I love those books so much, but I can't remember now if it took a while to get into them or not. I do remember that I didn't even pick them up for a long time because I somehow got them confused with Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson books but I'm pretty sure that's not your issue. Would really be something if it was!
Ministry of Time keeps getting bumped from the top of my TBR by library books because I own it so it's not on deadline. Weird little unintended consequence.
Hmm. OK, maybe I won't give up on it yet, then. God knows you all were right about not giving up on the Expanse series. (Still miss them!)
If you do decide Ancillary is not for you, maybe give The Raven Tower a try, that is my actual favorite Ann Leckie
If you bounced off of Ancillary Justice, you may find Three Body Problem a similar challenge. I listened to them both on audio, which helped get me through the dense sci-fi politics. I have a feeling if I'd been reading with my eyeballs I would have skimmed too much and missed important things.
PSA: Chirp has a bunch of books on sale for $0.99-$1.99 right now
I liked Ancillary Justice series but somehow I got through the first book and didn't realize the gender issues until part way through the second and had to go back and reread it
Different type of book, but
The Change
by Kirsten Miller is so far a lot of fun. Three women undergoing the change, as expected, with very unexpected results.
That sounds good, and my library has it immediately available. Big score because I have maxed out my holds…
OK! I have added several books to my hold list at the library from just a brief scroll-back here, thank you all very much. I also added three from roaming two bookstores with my aunt today (visiting her at the beach).
