人身AI设定其实还是蛮讨巧的,可惜前面铺陈太长节奏太慢,文风也谈不上特别吸引人,这种注定要出续集的作品闲极无聊看看而已,买书没必要(除非续集里男/女主??跟Seivarden睡到一块去了)。话说Radch帝国的性别设定真是无比困惑,到底是全民女性,还是gender-neutral?!

节奏慢热,女性特征极强的文笔和叙述方式,把一个意识统领多个身体的体验用Breq主观且不含太多感情的语调讲述清楚确实是非常有挑战的事。Radch的殖民文化一部分借鉴了罗马史,虽然是作者的第一个长篇,很多小细节的构思和铺陈堪称老练。

设定还是很神奇的,我是宇宙战舰人工智能的一部分,作者通过这种独特视角进行了很多尝试,很有趣。

严肃文学味儿很浓,让人想起LeGuin。确实不像处女作。像Osama。

Quite an intriguing story.
