btw, about "Ancillary Justice", holy shit it's cool to read a speculative fiction writer who actually seems to know something about Roman culture, the texture of its daily life, and not just be a tedious milporn wank about battle formations
@kara she's actually said that while she borrowed minor elements from it it's not really based on Rome at all
@kara yeah, it has vague similarities to a lot of things but it's really just its own universe
