It was published to critical acclaim in October 2013. If that seems hard to wrap your head around, well, that’s rather the point: At the heart of Leckie’s series is a profound grappling with the way identity-our very sense of self-is imagined, is regulated, and shifts over time. Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckies debut novel, is the first book of a space opera trilogy titled the Imperial Radch. Breq is One Esk Nineteen, a single segment of Justice of Toren, but she also is the A.I. (The three novels in the trilogy are named after the three classes of ships: Justice, Sword, and Mercy.) The protagonist of the series calls herself Breq she was once an ancillary and is the sole survivor of the destruction of the Radchaai ship Justice of Toren. The enormous spaceships Radchaai use to annex and regulate planets are installed with artificial intelligences these A.I.s control “ancillaries,” people from conquered planets who are implanted with technology that wipes out their identities and renders them human appendages of their ships. In the far-future space of Leckie’s trilogy, the Radchaai Empire has controlled a vast portion of the galaxy for thousands of years through the annexation of human-occupied planets. desperately want to tag dive imperial radch stuff but i dont wanna get spoilered so im holding out a couple more days til i get through ancillary sword.
