Review:I would say The Ancillary Justice trilogy is one of my favorite series of the last 30 years. Such a confusing, fresh, and ultimately clearly new and novel take on selfhood (with very satisfying gender themes too). This little book seemed like a school girls giggle...There were actually hints of deeper ideas here - was there something unusual about her lost hairpins? Did a mechanical assistant, painted clearly a very bright pink, kill the ambassador? What was that tingle in the back of her neck? ... Read more

Review:Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy are three nicely independent novels that cover a single story as broad as a couple thousand years and as short as a couple of weeks. The story is an epic combination of revenge, reconciliation, and recovery, told from the point of view of a human who served two millennia as a puppet soldier. Oh, yes, and Leckie won a Nebula and Hugo for the first book in the series. Read more

Review:As good as the first in the series. With even better and deftly handled social commentary. A nice set up for the next in the series. I am curious how it could be made into a movie. I think it would be very difficult with the gender ambiguity.... Read more

Review:Enjoyable read with interesting characters. This book paints a promising future for series that will be fun to follow. It has all of the characteristics that I like in this genre. There are some quirky characters, good action sequences, and the author's take on future technology. Read more

Review:There is so much to like here, I couldn't put it down! Honestly the biggest problem is that it ends and as a book that is a good problem to have. I genuinely can't wait for the next chapter in this story. Read more

Review:This book series is so fantastic. I'm in the last few pages, and I'm already excited to read it again! Now how will I muster the patience to wait for the third book?? Thanks NK Jemisin for this incredible creation of yours! Read more

Review:If you liked Captain Janeway of the Starship Voyager, you'll love Captain Bond and her pirate spaceship. Lots of adventures and action. The ending was a little abrupt, but overall, a good exciting read. Read more

Review:I was rereading this book looking forward to seeing old friends. However, the detailed descriptions on procedures and equipment sometimes get in the way of the action sequences. All in all, a good read. Read more

Review:The writing is, as always, excellent, but the story about Honor's parents... it seemed off, only because there was never a hint of anything like it in the main books. Otherwise, a nice little collection. Read more

Review:Excellent yarn in the line of the Hornblower saga but hundred of years in the future. Lots of space battles and a interesting heroine.
Howewer, long chapters are lost with long and boring "political" discussions. I like science fiction and Weber writes good one, but he deviates with "political science 1.o1" of future star kingdoms. Read more
