I listened to the Coode Street Podcast which seems to lean the way you suggest, but I'm not sure how much weight to give that. They were kind of hard on Ancillary Sword, but I have heard others say they preferred it to the first book.

Although I'm not actually voting, I am expecting to read all three books before the voting deadline, so I'll get back to you.
Yeah. Coode Street was one of the podcasts. They thought the writing of Sword was superb, but the plot left a bit to be desired. They *loved* Emperor and lot's of nice things to say about Third Body.

As I say, I struggled with Third Body, though I loved the ending.

And, at this point, I too don't expect to vote on this year's Hugo.
