translation: Dutch Radch 1

having read Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy in English, French and German, i finally got around to borrowing the Dutch translations by Mariëtte van Gelder from the library. since i've read each of the books at least seven times, i know them pretty much by heart and was able to pay quite detailed attention to the translation. so, here are some of my thoughts on the first book, Het recht van de Radch. there are spoilers here.

anyway. i could go on for a long time, i made many more notes that i haven't even used. it's safe to say that i'm not too impressed with the quality of this translation. nevertheless, i really enjoyed my tenth read of Ancillary Justice and i'm looking forward to Het zwaard van de Radch, which will be my eighth read of Ancillary Sword.

limitations of the study

we identified the following limitations: mainly, this "research" is fucking bullshit. this 3000-word essay is absolutely worthless and you know it. it has no scientific validity whatsoever and it's not going to be published anyway. so it has no "impact" either. i just want my dang grade.
