the majority of my reaction is BREQ. B R E Q. BREQ THAT IS SOME FIRST-GRADE A+ BREQ-ING YOU'VE GOT GOING ON THERE.

Like, the sheer level of oblivious it takes to ponder how uncomfortable the Amaats might be "flooding [Seivarden] with tiny intimacies" while Seivarden is acting for Ship to make your morning tea, after Kalr Twelve hugged you for ship...!

All of which is to say, really, that I am endlessly delighted by how thoroughly unreliable a narrator Breq is, and how easy it is to get sucked into considering her a flawless objective omniscient observer or, to perhaps put it another way, to believe what she believes about herself...
