Great series! Lots of tea. Finishing the first book I was to both parts excited and anxious. For one, its just fun to read yet also very intelligent and deep SF. But I was worried about being drowned in too much tea, which I kinda did, but in a good way, I guess. Ann Leckie has a way to writing really lively and nunanced conversations. If it needs tea to do that, then so be it.

Hard to rate the books separately, since they felt like one in the end. But highly recommended!
