"For a moment, things seemed to be under control for Breq, the soldier who used to be a warship. Then a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist, and a messenger from the mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai--ruler of an empire at war with itself"--Page 4 of cover.

In the stunning conclusion to the Imperial Radch trilogy, a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist. A messenger from the mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai, ruler of an empire at war with itself. Breq refuses to flee with her ship and crew, because that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.

Review of 'Ancillary mercy' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Finished all 3 books in the Imperial Radch trilogy: Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Sword, and Ancillary Mercy.

Possible spoilers, but not really.

I wasn't sure if I liked Ancillary Justice. But, I read the next based on advice in a book group. I did like that Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy picked up right where the previous books left off, which really helped for the flow. The story truly was a trilogy, though the middle book was much more a bridge and it's own story was a little weak but enjoyable.
