Because, yep, it's out tomorrow. :-) There will be spoilers in comments.

And before it gets to us... thoughts on the first three chapters (if you've read 'em)?

ALSO it is probably worth noticing - in case any of you don't subscribe to [syndicated profile] annleckie_feed - that Ann Leckie is doing a Reddit Ask Me Anything, with some questions (left in comments at her blog) already answered in the body of the post! I am going to try not to hit refresh endlessly...

That's a fair point. I think we're looking at two different aspects of religiousity: in Sword it's religion as everyday, and I'm not so sure Breq isn't just going through the motions while using religious metaphor to make political points*; whereas in Justice things like the icon seem to hint at what Breq was up to during those lost 19 years between Awn's death and her finding Seivarden.

*Or, alternative interpretation that occurred to me as I was about to press post, Breq is doing them as a memoriam to Awn.

(Having just realized this comm was here, and reading through it with a grin on my face--)

I have it from a comment at [personal profile] ann_leckie's DW that the part with the icon that looked like Breq is indeed a reference to what she got up to in the intervening 19 years--specifically to events that take place in the short story "She Commands Me And I Obey" (Part One | Part Two) which were in Strange Horizons online in November.

(Which you probably have already seen, but just in case!)

In the ouroborous of the Internet, I found a link to an interview with Ann Leckie on Tor, which I was linked to by someone on Dreamwidth, in which there was a link back here. :D Am so happy to have found it (even though I'm not commenting much on the older threads) since so far I haven't found many places to discuss it. (Lots of places going "OMG THIS IS AWESOME READ IT NOW" which I totally agree with, but no meta and such. So yay!)
