Ancillary Mercy
by Ann Leckie
Unfortunately, "Ancillary Mercy" continued the downward trend set by "Ancillary Sword". The amazing world building practically ceases in the novel. The powerful metaphysical questions of slavery and inhabitation of multiple bodies are largely morphed into a significantly less impactful discourse on privacy and tyranny. The main protagonist does not morph out of a cookie-cutter do-gooder. Besides making me want to drink more tea from a teapot, "Ancillary Mercy" largely falls flat. It is such a shame that the sequels to "Ancillary Justice" did not hold a torch to the original!
