Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie

3.0

What an absolutely bizarre book (and series)! But I think I mean that in a good way. Though, I am 100% certain that the author's deeper message and subtle meanings have flown completely over my head. This series seems vastly more complex and deeper than I was able to understand upon first reading. Perhaps I'll go through it a second time, perhaps not. I enjoyed the unique narrative of the main character and it was definitely a fast page turner. By this book, I was able to follow the changing perspectives mostly. I knew this series would have a different kind of ending and it didn't disappoint in that regard. I think I liked it overall at superficial value, I'm just not sure I got out of it what was intended.
