Breq has to deal with local politics and everyday injustices on Athoek Station as well as empire- and galaxy-wide conflicts that threaten the safety of all humankind. The crisis deepens as the series moves along, and the incredibly powerful and not-well-understood alien species the Presger become involved. In the process, she gets caught up in Anaander Mianaai’s battle with herself and is forced to make an uneasy alliance. Having lost everything, she sets out to seek revenge. When Justice of Toren is destroyed, Breq is the only surviving body. ![]() The trilogy’s main character, Breq, used to be a troop carrier called “Justice of Toren”, a spaceship with thousands of bodies and one consciousness. The Radch Empire is ruled by Anaander Mianaai, a human with thousands of bodies linked by cybernetic implants, now fractured into multiple personalities. In Leckie’s world, spaceships and space stations are controlled by artificial intelligence cores as sentient as any human. And for good reason– Ancillary Justice kicks off a trilogy full of complex characters, political and military intrigue, and technology that may not be as far off as we’d like to think. ![]() The first book in Ann Leckie’s Imperial Radch Trilogy, Ancillary Justice, is the only novel to have ever won the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, and the Arthur C. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our list of graduation wishes ends with a set of inspirational quotes that might be just the words you are looking for, or you can also find more quotes about graduation too.

Torn between leaving and fighting, the women appoint eight of their own to come to a final decision. While the rest of the men are in the city posting bail for the accused, Molotschna’s women vote on what they should do before their attackers return. Just before the novel begins, it is discovered that a group of men have been drugging and violently raping the women and girls of the village. In this particular colony, called Molotschna, that structure has exposed its dark underbelly. ![]() It is a world built on patriarchy, though the women have no direct translation for the concept. The men tend the land, learn to read and handle the money. Here, the women quilt, milk cows, and give birth to families of 10 or 15 children. The story takes place in a remote Mennonite Christian community. But this is the contradiction that sits at the heart of Miriam Toews’s Women Talking, and it neatly illustrates the plight of her characters. It seems ironic that a work so concerned with the female voice should be written from a man’s perspective. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As an additional quirk, Traig’s scrupulosity did not occur in the context of general religiosity, but in that of Orthodox Judaism, a faith that she describes as fraught with craziness already. Every so often, as she tells it, a flare-up would occur and all hell would break loose. Beginning at age three, and throughout the rest of her youth and young adulthood, Traig was plagued with bouts of scrupulosity. Scrupulosity is, for lack of more sophisticated terms, religious obsessive compulsivity. The book begins with a primer of sorts on obsessive-compulsive disorder, particularly scrupulosity, Traig’s specific affliction. Somewhere in recounting the details, Traig lost me. Jennifer Traig attempts to discuss her obsessive-compulsive disorder and anorexia as they affected her and her family through the adolescent and young adult, but the book never quite makes a clear statement.

The BJP was the favourite to win this election. The party’s vote share was 52.2 per cent, its highest ever. The BJP won 156 of 182 seats in the state assembly, the most by any party in Gujarat’s electoral history. The victory came on the back of 27 years of incumbency.
