Critics Review
You will be truly astounded at how Leckie has fully fleshed out a universe and is asking and attempting to answer the difficult questions that many authors never even address in science fiction
Unexpected, compelling and very cool - Ann Leckie nails it. I’ve never met a heroine like Breq before. I consider this a very good thing indeed.
Total gamechanger. Get it, read it, wish to hell you’d written it. Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice may well be the most important book Orbit have published in ages.It’s not every day a debut novel by an author you’d never heard of before derails your entire afternoon with its brilliance. - Tor.comUsing the format of a SF military adventure blended with hints of space opera, Leckie explores the expanded meaning of human nature and the uneasy balance between individuality and membership in a group identity. Leckie is a newcomer to watch. - Library Journal (starred review)Leckie’s novel cast of characters serves her well-plotted story nicely. This is an altogether promising debut. - KirkusOur #1 pick for the year’s best science fiction or fantasy book … this Iain M. Banks-esque tale was the book that made us most excited about the future of science fiction in 2013. - io9.comIt engages, it excites, and it challenges the way the reader views our world. Leckie may be a former Secretary of the Science Fiction Writers of America, but she’s the President of this year’s crop of debut novelists. Ancillary Justice might be the best science fiction novel of this very young decade. - Staffer s Book ReviewThe sort of book that the Clarke Award wishes it had last year … be prepared to see Ancillary Justice bandied around a lot come awards season. (As it should be). - PornokitschAbout The Author
