Product description

Review

If you don't know the Ancillary series by now, you probably should. Ann Leckie's sociopolitical space opera almost singlehandedly breathed new cool into the stereotype of spaceships trundling through far-off systems amid laser battles. ... [ANCILLARY MERCY] earns the credit it's received: As a capstone to a series that shook genre expectations, as our closing installment of an immersively realized world, and as the poignant story of a ship that learned to sing. (NPR)

Book Description

Ancillary Mercy is the thrilling final volume in Ann Leckie's space opera trilogy which began with the only novel to ever win all three of science fiction's biggest awards: the Hugo, Nebula and Arthur C. Clarke winner Ancillary Justice.

Enjoyed all three books but felt the first was by far the best, the middle one good and the last one is not as engaging. The series did avoid a lot of the technical overkill and obsessive detail you often find overloads scifi / space opera - so overall a good series and well worth a read.

Well written, but with not the same impact as the first book. Few new ideas are introduced, the somewhat exasperating inter character relationships taking centre stage. A worthy read nonetheless.

Despite resisting making the ending too tidy this still ties things up nicely to conclude the trilogy. Given my irritation at the growing tendency to produce open ended series I can't really complain, but I'd love to have more books in this universe and id love to follow up on what breq does next.

However, as can be seen in this book, the ideas on what it is to be human seem to have been thoroughly explored and any further books would no doubt be more like the standard adventures in space sci-fi novels. (I'd still buy them!). Perhaps she could consider collaborating with another author to continue the franchise.

I also look forward to see what else her genius imagination has to offer. No pressure Ann :)

Good read. Every twist and turn is laid out before you, unexpected at every turn. I would give this a ****rating

Good character development and raises some interesting questions about AI and their future rights.

Been going down hill since the first book (which was excellent). I accept this is a work more about the feelings of the characters than any huge actions - but two books on, I feel like there's way too much tea making, sulking and pouting, not enough actual plot, including a big dose of Deus-Ex.

Worth reading the first book then - lots of great ideas and well written; but felt the whole series ran out of steam......

I've had to work at this, my relationship to these books, and every inch of effort has been worth it.
I was thrown, at first, by the use of only the feminine pronouns; it created something of a disconnect. As I read more I realised that what it actually did for me was to make me engage much more fully with the characterisation; I couldn't rely on inherent tropes or mental shorthand. As a result this has been a tremendously rewarding read. I want more of the Radch universe.
