Lien reviewed Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie (Imperial Radch, #3)
Ancillary Joy
5 stars
This book leans away from the beautiful melancholy of the first in the series, with a more optimistic (occasionally hilarious) tone. I loved every moment Sphene and Zeiat spent together. The ending surprised me just as much as it surprised the characters, but I suppose it had been brewing underneath my notice. There was a Chekhov's gun obligation that I'm not sure was entirely discharged, but I'm still definitely prepared to rate the book five stars for the enjoyment I got reading it.

Lien finished reading The Unspoken Name by A. K. Larkwood (The Serpent Gates, #1)
This wasn't bad. Well paced. Not sure if there were meant to be clues to the plot points, as I didn't see any. A bit more epic in parts than I usually go for.
