I also took issue with the ‘science’ that forms the core of Ninefox. The writing is wooden with occasional bursts of melodrama, the plot feels borrowed, and I found myself struggling to give half a shit about the protagonist, never mind the (blandly military) supporting cast members arrayed around her. Ninefox is a military science fiction novel that, in my opinion, desperately wants to have the word Ancillary in its title but narrowly misses all the key notes that Anne Leckie hit so well.Īnd in case that wasn’t clear enough: I didn’t really like this book. In the name of transparency, I should divulge that I read this book solely because it was nominated for a (2017) Hugo.
