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.

Ancillary Joy

5,0 stars

This book leans away from the beautiful melancholy of the first in the series, with a more optimistic (occasionally hilarious) tone. I loved every moment Sphene and Zeiat spent together. The ending surprised me just as much as it surprised the characters, but I suppose it had been brewing underneath my notice. There was a Chekhov's gun obligation that I'm not sure was entirely discharged, but I'm still definitely prepared to rate the book five stars for the enjoyment I got reading it.
