I enjoyed it initially with several complaints but might have thrown it
at the wall about half way through if it hadn't been a Hugo Award
winner. I have not read the other contenders but the standard of
writing, the lack of a science background evident in limited vocabulary
and frequent difficulty to suspend disbelief did not even hint at award
nomination.

 
Read Translation State.  It deserved the award in my opinion.

Agreed. My apologies as I had forgotten that that novel was nominated.
Although not in the same category as her Ancillary series, it was a
solid four stars from me.
