Conclusion to the Imperial Radch trilogy.
These books are impossible to talk about without spoiling, and I find myself amazingly reticent to spoil them. All I can say is that the wide open universe of Ancillary Justice narrowed down considerably in Sword, and narrows down again in Mercy. If you like your sprawling space opera to stay at that galactic sprawling level, then perhaps these aren't for you, but if you enjoy a more character-driven study of politics and identity and power and free will and the question of Significance, then I think the narrowing of the focus in Ancillary Mercy makes for a satisfying and realistic stopping point for this particular trilogy-long story.
