Based on the first 3 chapters, I'm still tantalised and confused about Anaander Mianaai's origins, but it sounds like we might actually get some details on that MAYBE. Also interesting power plays and interesting interactions with Medic; I am eager to see how those play out.

(And, of course, there's the question of who exactly this baby Lieutenant is going to end up being; and there's the question -- well, Breq says it's impossible that the baby Lieutenant will ever be their previous self again, but I cannot but remember that Strigan said she was very nearly sure she could restore the existence of Breq's-previous-body-owner. And this brings us right back to the central questions of identity and what it means to have an identity...)
