Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie
5.0
Ancillary Mercy is a satisfying conclusion to this wonderful trilogy.
I believe that Ancillary Justice, the first book, creates a problem of expectations with the series. It seems like you are getting into a vast space opera, with massive space battles and complex politicking. However, while the first book provides the base for this broad setup, the following books have narrowed it down to the individuals in this story, and Ancillary Mercy delivers greatly in that regard.
This is the novel where many of the questions about AI, and morality, are answered, or at least expanded upon. It is a delight to read the characterization, the interactions, and to be surprised with the outcomes.
I get it why some people are disappointed by this series. I really do. But I just see it for the brilliant series that it is.
