"The sort of space opera audiences have been waiting for."- NPR Books on Ancillary Sword "Powerful."- The New York Times on Ancillary Sword "This trilogy will stand as a classic of SF for the ages."- Library Journal on Ancillary Mercy earns the credit it's received: As a capstone to a series that shook genre expectations, as our closing installment of an immersively realized world, and as the poignant story of a ship that learned to sing."- NPR Books on Ancillary Mercy Ann Leckie's sociopolitical space opera almost singlehandedly breathed new cool into the stereotype of spaceships trundling through far-off systems amid laser battles. "If you don't know the Ancillary series by now, you probably should. Just read it."- B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog "The trappings of widescreen sci-fi, and the attention to character, to the small moments, to the inner lives of those living through outsized events. A story about the necessity of exploring the edges of the known."- NPR "A careful look at how no one's immune from politics, even if they think themselves outside the fray. A thrill for fans of heists and capers."- Washington Post
"The intricacies and oddities are a delight. But what makes this book is watching Ingray overcome her poor self-esteem and discover who she actually wants to be, demonstrating again the genre's capacity to tell compelling, human stories."- RT Book Reviews "The trademarks of Leckie's talent are on display, with even more worlds for readers to discover and some teasing overlap with her previous series.
