Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Ancillary Sword is the sequel to the multi-award-winning Ancillary Justice, as the cover of my copy helpfully points out. In it, Breq, the ancillary who was formerly the ship Justice of Toren but who is now newly-made Fleet Captain of her own ship, Mercy of Kalr, is sent to protect ...

But... but... I love this series. It is my new crack. Artificial intelligence, a full, political world, and characters that I absolutely adore. What more could a girl ask for? Breq continues to dig into the huge conspiracy: the Lord of the Radch has made Breq her 'cousin' by giving B...

I'm also not going to write another synopsis. Instead, I'll stick to the audiobook narration. Adjoa Andoh did a primarily won...
I've basically been wallowing in Ann Leckie's books, especially this one, since July. I finished Ancillary Sword in a day, giving myself a whopper of a headache, but I haven't been able to review it because nothing I wrote seemed adequate. I decided to do a more leisurely reread, and then I signed u...
Breq is a soldier who used to be a warship. Once a weapon of conquest controlling thousands of minds, now she has only a single body and serves the emperor. With a new ship and a troublesome crew, Breq is ordered to go to the only place in the galaxy she would agree to go: to Athoek Station to pro...
In a lot of ways Sword is very different from Justice, and they end up being extremely striking contrasts to each other. Whereas in Justice we are inundated with plot that shunts us from one scene to another in high acceleration, Sword takes a very different approach, and more or less lacks an overa...
