Ann Leckie
An ambitious young woman has just one chance to secure her future and reclaim her family's priceless lost artifacts in this stand-alone novel set in the world of the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Imperial Radch trilogy.
Though she knows her brother holds her mother's favor, Ingrid is determined to at least be considered as heir to the family name. She hatches an audacious plan—free a thief from a prison planet from which no one has ever returned, and use them to help steal back a priceless artifact.
But Ingray and her charge return to her home to find their planet in political turmoil, at the heart of an escalating interstellar conflict. Together, they must make a new plan to salvage Ingray's future and her world, before they are lost to her for good.

I did find the monologue from the Geck ambassador very moving. I'm not sure whether or not I would have in print. I'm still thinking about it days later.
Worth it as an audiobook

Instead of the AI, gender and galactic power plays explored in the Trilogy, this book has a smaller more personal scope without quite as many big ideas. The book’s protagonist is very sympathetic and uncomplicated. Her adventure is a small, personal one in many ways by sci-fi standards and she encounters some interesting human characters and some aliens that are an interesting testimony to the author’s imagination.
Leckie in one of the better new voices in the genre and Provenance continues her streak of well-written, imaginative books. I didn’t enjoy this as much as her other novels but appreciated the well-drawn characters, subtle humor attention to detail and strong writing that I’ve come to expect from Leckie.
The narration is also quite good.
I recommend this book for fans of Le Quin style SF that favors the exploration human social constructs and interpersonal relationships more than action, technology and galactic conflict.
Good addition to the Ancillary universe
