Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Breq and her crew must stand against an old and powerful enemy and fight for their own destinies in the stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy. A must read for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin and James S. A. Corey.
For a moment, things seemed to be under control for Breq, the soldier who used to be a warship. Then a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist, and 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.
Breq refuses to flee with her ship and crew, because that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.
"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." -- John Scalzi

“The Imperial Radcch trilogy is as rich as any high sci-fi space opera. Each character is intracately textured and made unique, even in character sets characterized primarily by their sameness. I found Breq and Minaai to be extremely compelling, interesting stalwarts of the series and I just wish Minaai would was reintroduced earlier in this one. This brings me to my main complaint with this series where the structure remains almost identical throughout the three novels. Great buildup and interesting commentary for 275 pages followed by 50-60 of action. I think these latter portions do a disservice to the first few and it just never feels like Leckie full capitalizes on the world she’s built. I did really enjoy her commentary on what it means to be a citizen, what makes one Significant, and gender fluidity. I wish these ideas were better woven into the climaxes of these novels but they just were not. All in all, a good series but not necessarily one I would highly recommend.”

“Such a wonderful ending to a trilogy that's had so many interesting surprises. This one did have a much lighter tone than the first two but it felt earned, the characters coming into the fullness of their arcs, the plot winding down in a way I never expected. As grand as the stakes are to start is as personal as they are at the end and it fits so well. Honestly I'm in awe of Ann Leckie and can't wait to read more of her work.”Characters change and growLikable charactersDescriptive writingFunny writingTwistyImmersive settingRomanticThought-provokingViolence
