Such a great series. Ending wasn't perfect, but that's what fanfiction is for.

As the third act of the Ancillary series, Ancillary Mercy faces the challenge of wrapping up the challenges laid out for the character Breq. Can her crew support her effectively ? Can she survive the political intrigue and discover if justice can be created to redress historical wrongs ? How can Breq and crew survive against whatever forces the Lord of the Radch decides to use to destroy this dangerously independent being ?
I appreciate Ann Leckie's creative answers to the challenging science fiction questions related to Artificial Intelligence. What may they be like ? What limits them ? Do humans matter to them ?
So interested was I to learn of Ann's finish, I stayed up to read the entire book.

Now I wish that there would be a fourth book to explore what might come next.

One of the strongest third parts of a sci-fi trilogy I've ever read. As with most good books, i didn't want it to end.
