And perhaps Ancillary Mercy will wrap things up in a much more thrilling and satisfying way. Perhaps it is unfair to make such a comparison – Ancillary Justice was always going to be a hard act to follow. It’s not as action-packed and suspenseful as the first book. I had to know what happened next to Breq. And I’ll be looking forward to Ancillary Mercy, scheduled to be released in October, 2015.īut I’d be lying if I said I understood all the 5-star ratings and gushing reviews on Goodreads for Ancillary Sword. Don’t get me wrong – it was a somewhat satisfying read. Who can’t love the ship-turned-ancillary seeking revenge for her favorite officer’s death? In the author’s competent hands, Ancillary Justice is the epitome of what an sf book can be – fiercely intelligent, structurally complex, emotionally rewarding.Īnd then there’s the sequel. After all, Breq Mianaai is one of the most complex and beautiful characters to emerge in recent sf. Those who – like me – read and loved Ann Leckie’s Hugo award-winning Ancillary Justice will no doubt want to read Ancillary Sword, the sequel. ![]()
