Ilustration Toward Books Ancillary Mercy (Imperial Radch #3)
For just a moment, things seem to be under control for the soldier known as Breq. Then a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist—someone who might be a refugee from a ship that's been hiding beyond the empire's reach for three thousand years. In the meantime a messenger from the alien and mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai—ruler of an empire that's at war with itself.Anaander is heavily armed and extremely unhappy with Breq. She could take her ship and crew and flee, but that would leave everyone at Athoek in terrible danger.
Breq has a desperate plan. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.

I've never read a series that made me want to immediately go back and re-read the entire thing before this one. It is perfect. It balances the dramatic and the domestic in a way that I find lacking in so much science fiction. The mundane and the every day are elevated to as prominent and valued a station as the combative and the political. Soldiers make tea, soldiers sew clothes, soldiers clean floors, they also train with weapons of war - these things combined create a world that feels moreIs it wrong to ask for more space and more opera in a space opera?My goodness, what a chore, this book was. The trilogy started out quite good, telling of a tyrannical vast sprawling empire with fascinating intelligent ships and ancillaries. The second book has a much smaller scope with local political squabbles tinted with racism, class conflicts etc. Both ended alright. The third book....well all I got from this were pages of negligible, tedious relationships between emotional junior officers
For a while, I wasnt sure how this book would or could wrap everything up, given the scale of the struggle that we began to see in Ancillary Justice. But I think, in the end, that comes down to the fact that the story isnt actually about that struggle; this isnt a never-ending epic struggle, its about one person one fragment of a person, even, slowly becoming a person. Its about Justice of Toren, and Breq, and then also about the people she interacts with: Seivarden, Ekalu, Ship, Station,

I am dumfounded by how good Ancillary Mercy is, how perfectly it fits within the wider context of the series and how well it works as a trilogy-ender. I dont know why I expected anything different given how much I loved, admired, and adored the first two books in the trilogy. But here we are and I can say in all honesty: this is a brilliant piece of fiction that is uplifting, complex, clever, heart-warming and fun.I imagine every author has a crossroads moment: for Ann Leckie I would like to
Well, at least I have a better handle on what the trilogy was trying to do. Though frankly, establishing an evil, multi-bodied, all-knowing antagonist and then solving that problem by isolating one young piece in front of the conveniently befriended translator - well, it's too convenient. There are more conveniences, and they're all revealed after the fact: instances where Breq once again knows something and doesn't reveal that knowledge - or that she knows something - until after whatever she's
I wondered how Ann Leckie was going to finish this wonderful series in just one last book but she did it in spades! I think I enjoyed this volume the most out of the three partly because of the character development and partly because of the lightness of the authors touch and the way she handles relationships and emotions. The introduction of a new Presger representative is a master stroke and the humour she generates is just superb. Breq is one of the best science fiction characters I have ever
Still too much tea.Book I was so strong and splendid. It opened up into a world that promised galactic intrigue and epic space opera. Book II narrowed the story's focus down to a single star system and the intricacies of drinking tea. The bizarrely-immature feelings of officers aboard a single warship. And proper manners within the Radch. I had high hopes that this book, the conclusion to the trilogy, would open back up to the larger universe originally promised, but no. Instead half the book
