Giving this novel 4.5 of 5 stars 
 I greatly enjoyed this novel! The whole concept of it was really intriguing; the ship with it's ancillaries, annexations, well basically everything was very well thought out! 
 The only thing that was a tad confusing at first was the gender thing, but once I realized that Breq is a Radchaai ship that 1)doesn't care about gender and 2)is slightly confused about it in the other human races it wast easy to understand why she just called everyone "she" by default. 
 Anyways, I loved this book! Cannot wait to get my hands on the second one and cannot wait till the third comes out! 
 Will recommend this to all my science fiction loving friends :)
