  • "Hugo and Nebula Award winner Leckie collects 18 stories for a stunning showcase of her talents. Leckie plays with tone... but in every borrowed style (and in the style that is deeply her own), the detailed worlds, intelligent plotting, and clear-eyed compassion make these stories standout. ... Leckie’s fans will treasure this."
    Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
  • "Unmissable... Tense, affecting, and layered."
    Esquire
  • "An acclaimed SFF novelist's first short-story collection... Bloodily clever and darkly comic... The many different approaches Leckie takes to her subject are amazing."
    Kirkus
  • "There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could."
    John Scalzi
  • "Powerful."
    The New York Times on Ancillary Sword
  • "The sort of space opera audiences have been waiting for."
    NPR Books on Ancillary Sword
  • "No science-fiction series as descriptive of our current political and cultural moment or as insistent that we open our eyes to it."
    Slate on Ancillary Mercy
  • "A gripping read, with top-notch world building and a set of rich subtexts about human rights, colonialism -- and (yes) hive mind sex."
    io9 on Ancillary Sword
  • "By turns thrilling, moving and awe-inspiring."
    The Guardian on Ancillary Justice
