A review by lalehpop
Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie

4.0

I love this series and am so sad to have finished it. The first book is much better than the rest of the trilogy, but they were lovely to read on vacation. I really enjoy the dry narrative style and adore the Raadchi linguistic quirk that makes everyone she/her. I think it’s really nice how I don’t even notice that I’m reading every single character as female until I stop to think about it. I love space operas, so it’s not particularly surprising that I like these books so much, but I will say that I wish the scope was a bit wider. I wish we got more of the empire wide drama, even if Breq is confined to one station and planet.
