Ancillary Justice

Ancillary Justice depicts many religious practices, most of which the Radchaai have no trouble assimilating into their own religion. Focusing on one or more specific examples, discuss how this works (or doesn’t), and why.

In the world of Ancillary Justice, even ordinary people can live for centuries. Three of the book’s main characters (Breq, Anaander Mianaai, and Seivarden) have lived for over 1,000 years. Discuss how the vast spans of time they experienced have influenced their development as characters.

Breq speculates that One Esk’s practice of singing and collecting music may have contributed to its developing an identity separate from that of Justice of Toren as a whole. Argue for or against this claim.
