verosnotebook 's review for:

Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie
4.0

4.5 re-read (still brilliant!)

“Every ending is an arbitrary one. Every ending is, from another angle, not really an ending.”

The narrative follows on directly from the events of the second book. More of the same, but what a 'same'! Compelling characters, with a couple of new ones who are beyond colourful and totally entertaining, and fascinating settings, especially on the socio-political level, are once more expertly offered to us. There are action scenes, some breathtaking, but ultimately it is the psychological that is at the fore.

Loved it :O)
