2023 book 66

 Ann Leckie's Provenance

This is set in the same universe as Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy, but a different part of that universe, which provides an interesting perspective on all those goings-on. The plot is mildly convoluted so I won’t try to explain, except that a young woman is trying to execute a plan to prove herself to her powerful mother, and things go awry basically immediately, and suddenly there are big political stakes. I really enjoy all the sci-fi politics and this has great characters and an interesting world. A-.
