Posted on 03 January 2018 by Ann Leckie

The conclusion to the trilogy that began with Ancillary Justice.For a moment, things seemed to be under control for Breq, the soldier who used to be a warship Then a search of Athoek Station s slums turns up someone who shouldn t exist, and a messenger from the mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq s enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai ruler of an empire at war with itself.Breq refuses to flee with her ship and crew, because that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger The odds aren t good, but that s never stopped her before.

it received The book was strikingly original, offering an alien view of gender identity or, rather, lack of gender identity in a social context that wholly made sense, positing individual beings incorporating many different bodies In conjunction with that concept it also offered up a grand and sweeping science fiction story, told through an interesting and effective narrative structure.The followup, Ancillary Sword, was still very good, although in retrospect I feel that some of my enthusiasm for it may have carried over from the first one Here, Leckie s canvas shrinks significantly, as Breq finds herself on Athoek Station and involved with a fight for justice for the oppressed citizens of the Undergarden I have...So I really liked Ancillary Justice.That book hit so many high notes
