Ancillary Mercy (Imperial Radch, #3)

by Ann Leckie

"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"--Page 4 of cover.

In the stunning conclusion to the Imperial Radch trilogy, a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist. 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.

This was fantastic! The premise is original, the writing is top notch, and the exploration of how we might interact socially in a distant future is thought provoking. Highly recommend!

The whole series is brilliant. And I never cease to be amazed how the pronoun thing just fades into the background of a great story, giving the entire series an incredibly unique flavor and feel on the brain!

Is it really a trilogy? There's so much more story to tell!
