"If you don't know the Ancillary series by now, you probably should. Ann Leckie's sociopolitical space opera almost singlehandedly breathed new cool into the stereotype of spaceships trundling through far-off systems amid laser battles. ... [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

"Powerful."--The New York Times on Ancillary Sword

"The sort of space opera audiences have been waiting for."--NPR Books on Ancillary Sword

"No science-fiction series as descriptive of our current political and cultural moment or as insistent that we open our eyes to it."--Slate on Ancillary Mercy

"A gripping read, with top-notch world building and a set of rich subtexts about human rights, colonialism -- and (yes) hive mind sex."--io9 on Ancillary Sword

"Leckie investigates what it means to be human, to be an individual and to live in a civilized society."--Scientific American on Ancillary Sword

"This trilogy will stand as a classic of SF for the ages."--Library Journal on Ancillary Mercy

"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could."--John Scalzi

"More intriguing cultures to explore, more characters to care about, more Leckie to love."--Kirkus

"Character-centered space opera from one of SF's brightest stars."--Library Journal
