PeterB reviewed Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie (Imperial Radch, #3)
Review of 'Ancillary Mercy' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is the final part in the Radch trilogy. I read the Dutch translation, which was again spot on.
The story stays with Brecq who is now trying her best to protect the Athoek station. This gets quite complicated when the war between the Radch leader arrives in the solar system.
This is an exiting conclusion to the trilogy and a must read if you have read the previous two books. There's a lot more happening than in the 2nd book which I really enjoyed.
Similar to previous books in the trilogy, the story is also used to discuss some of the choices that the human race has made or will need to make in the future and some possible outcomes.
Unlike in Ancillary Sword, the choices in this final book seemed much more far-reaching and important. Much more like you would expect in a truly great work of science-fiction.
