devilinlaw - 2015-11-07 3:42 AM Since we were discussing the Imperial Radch trilogy here, I thought I'd share this write up about the books on Slate. http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/books/2015/11/ancillary_mercy_re...

 

That's an interesting commentary, devilinlaw. and it also ties into the controversy at the last Hugo awards conference.

I'm about halfway through Ancillary Mercy, the third book in this trilogy. Leckie's excellent world-building, beginning with Ancillary Justice, can be a little difficult to get into at first, because of the AI and ancillaries, and multiple bodies being one person. And of course there is the gender thing. But the bottom line is: this, the whole trilogy, is as good a science fiction novel as I have read in a while.
