![]() There are few who ever could.' - John ScalziOn a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing. 'There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. ![]() I read them because they are so highly regarded but IMO they fell short. This special boxed set contains all three novels in NYT bestselling author Ann Leckie's Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award-winning space opera trilogy about a ship's AI who becomes trapped in a human body, and her quest for revenge. ![]() Also, I felt as though the entirety of the second book is solely about the main character waiting and the book could've been condensed by about half. I understand they might serve well for character development but the extent to which they go seems unwarranted.Īdditionally, I feel like the premise of the book in regards to the emperor is a really interesting idea but it never takes off in the second book. Things just happen and the plot doesn't find a way to tie them back in. There are stretches of events that take place throughout the book that I think will matter by the climax or at least the end but they never add to the overall plot. With exception of the ending of the first book, I feel like the book moves along at a snail's pace and nothing happens. ![]() Nothing against Ann Leckie, I've read other novels of hers and liked them! Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I read the first two of the ancillary justice trilogy and I feel that they do not reflect the high praise they receive. ![]()
