"Well, excellency," said Captain Uisine after a few moments, "I suggest we open the pod and ask em. We can always put em back in if e prefers that."

I completely forgot that the people in this society are genderless. I was thinking: "Boy, there are a LOT of typing errors in this book." 

Edit: After having read a little bit more, I remembered that the people aren´t exactly genderless. Instead the language of the Radchaai society hasn´t specific pronouns for gender and the society in itself treats everyone as being genderless.

However, the female main character in this book is from the Hwaen culture, which do distinguish between different gender and are using specific pronouns to clarify if someone is male or female, if a person has declared to be of a certain gender. I´m still a bit fuzzy about the details, though.

I like Ann Leckie´s books, her writing style is right up my alley. But this whole gender/language thing can be a bit disorienting in the beginning, tbh.
