I really enjoyed all three books. They managed to do the galactic empire thing without getting overly bogged down in politics, and character development was interesting. I thought Leckie did a good job of conveying an extended AI in multiple bodies, and a solitary form (avoiding spoilers).

I read these not long after reading the first five Murderbot Diaries books, and I wonder if the Radch books might have been an influence on Wells. Some of the themes felt a little similar, while the stories were quite different.

Anyone read them? Liked it disliked, and why?

    I actually wish they could have dwelled more on the final act of Mercy, with how the treaty played into it (avoiding spoilers). That concept itself was interesting, and all of the three books really played into it.
