Summary

The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Ancillary Justice.

For just a moment, things seem to be under control for the soldier known as Breq. Then a search of Atheok Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist - someone who might be an ancillary from a ship that's been hiding beyond the empire's reach for three thousand years.

In the meantime, a messenger from the alien and mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai - ruler of an empire that's at war with itself.

Anaander is heavily armed and extremely unhappy with Breq. She could take her ship and crew and flee, but that would leave everyone at Athoek in terrible danger. Breq has a desperate plan. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.

brilliant in every way

with all three books and especially this last one, i really tried hard to ration myself. The more I read, the less I had to look forward to.
Characters and plot were excellent and the reader was superb. Friends who regard audio books with a certain distaste will never know the force and depth that a reader like Adjoa Andoh brings to the text.

All in all a month or so of absolute pleasure.

One of the most enjoyable

One of the most enjoyable audio book series I have ever come across. Brilliant storyline, truly likable and fascinating characters, plenty of action, mystey, suspense and some really nice twists. The reader also did an incredible job. Better than any I've heard so far.

Story so well suited to its narrator

And amazing and curious finish to a world that setting that I adore!
it's exactly what the series needed and to say the narrator is suited to the roll does he a disservice.

A good round off to a Trilogy

An interesting and thoughtful round off to a trilogy that leaves a fully formed, but not fully known, universe to explore.

I wish there were more!

I've listened to this series at least four times. I love the story, I love the characters and I love the narration.

Going to miss them all.

So so so sad it is over. It did not take long. I purchased extra credits which I used up on the trilogy and have binged it all. Adjoa Andoh is such an amazing narrator. Am now going to search for other books she has narrated.

A fascinating series with spectacular narration.

Absolutely loved this series. It is very different from your usual Sci fi but all the better for it. A very well fleshed out universe with a great cast of characters, but the highlight is the narration by Adjoa Andoh. A brilliant performance that brings the whole series to life.

Multidimensional tender inspiring

Wonderful layers of cultura! And psychological exploration
Characters so rich
Performed with outstanding conviction and colour
Finally of course not to forget the Neuro diverse and clever conception of power and control being universally female
