Leckie uses.an expansionist galaxy-spinning empire a protagonist on a single-minded quest for justice to transcend space-opera conventions in innovative ways. "A double-threaded narrative proves seductive, drawing the reader into the naive but determined protagonist's efforts to transform an unjust universe. "Establishes Leckie as an heir to Banks and Cherryh."― Elizabeth Bear In fact, it arrowed upward to reach a pretty high position on my list of best space opera novels ever."― Liz Bourke But when my review copy of Ancillary Justice arrived, that's exactly what it did. "It's not every day a debut novel by an author you'd never heard of before derails your entire afternoon with its brilliance. " Ancillary Justice is the mind-blowing space opera you've been needing.This is a novel that will thrill you like the page-turner it is, but stick with you for a long time afterward."― io9.com (included in 'This Fall's Must-Read Science Fiction and Fantasy Books') I consider this a very good thing indeed."― John Scalzi Ann Leckie nails it.I've never met a heroine like Breq before. “I was not prey any longer, I decided as I eased up to that door."Unexpected, compelling and very cool.
So you’ll understand me, Feyre, when I say that I know what you feel, and I know what they tried to do to you, and that with enough courage, you can say to hell with a reputation. “I once lived in a place where the opinion of others mattered. So I would venture out, even if it was an agony…” “But I wouldn’t sit in my room, couldn’t allow myself to mourn and mope and weep and sleep. But I know you – more than you realise, I think – and I don’t believe for one damn minute that you’re remotely fine with being a pretty trophy for someone who sat on his ass for nearly fifty years then sat on his ass while you were shredded apart.” If you want to pick that road, then fine. You can be a pawn, be someone’s reward, and spend the rest of your immortal life bowing and scraping and pretending you’re less than him, than Ianthe, than any of us.
