The Will to Battle Book 3 of Terra Ignota Ada Palmer 9780765378040 Books

Ockham Prospero Saneer pleads Terra Ignota, I did the deed, but I do not myself know whether it was a crime. This sets the tone for the entire book.

I know there are at least a few of you interested in this book and whether or not the end feels like we've only been given half a book. I'm happy to report that this does not feel like half a book. The wait for Perhaps the Stars will still be long and torturous, but I intend to fill that time with back to back re-reads prior to release.

These books are, in their own special way, an art form. These pages are filled with quirky stylistic choices, narrative breaks taken to address the reader (you) who carries an ongoing dialogue both with the narrator, and ghosts of the narrators past and upbringing (primarily, philosopher Thomas Hobbes). Dual columns of text side by side are meant to tell you that multiple conversations are happening at the same time within the text. While MASON speaks, people around him object and these texts are given to you in tandem. Different sets of parenthetical are meant to indicate different languages. I'm sure this has been obvious to some of my fellow readers, but yes, I can be dense, and yes, it has taken me three books to crack the code.

We continue our philosophical search for meaning through the eyes of the Alien, God of Another Universe, filtered through the eyes of a serial killer and a genius, Mycroft Canner. This was an interesting examination of Mycroft. We see a glimpse of Mycroft before this chronicle started. We spy him for a brief moment in that time between his capture and his judgement. His own story, a mirror image of the larger story at hand.

We move away now from examinations of gender and utopia, to the meaning and purpose of war. Perhaps to the purpose of god and religion and its purpose within society. How does a peaceful society take those first few steps to war? Is war necessary to progress? How does society balance the rights of an individual against the greater good? What right does a government have to defend itself or its people against other governments and people? Is this a right we as citizens consent to? Or do we happily ignore it and pretend that peace and the right to live are god granted things that no government can take away regardless of that governments cause?

This may be the last book I have time to read and review this year and with everything happening within my own government I suppose it couldn't have been more timely. It is highly relevant and highly recommended, and one of the few books I am already looking forward to re-reading because I know just how many things I must have missed.

The Will to Battle Book 3 of Terra Ignota Ada Palmer 9780765378040 Books Reviews

A continuation of the story of the first two novels (I recommend catching up if you have lost touch with the series' universe), this entry provides a much deeper characterization of the narrator. At the end of this book, the most important question in my mind is; Who is Mycroft Canner, really?
The series started out amazing with Too Like the Lightening and somehow manages to get even better as it goes. This one made me laugh out loud as well as shed a non-trivial number of tears...and the all-Latin pages continue to make me smile whenever we get to listen to J and Cornell talk.

I can't wait for the next book.
Palmer manages to write some of the most mind-blowingly innovative SFF I've ever read, while making it a fun and rollicking story. This series is remarkable in many ways, and I can't wait for the final installment. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've never read anything like it.
Maintaining the timeline of the events of the chronicle in parallel to the timeline of writing the chronicle itself give us a narrator sometime distressed about current events even as they record happier past moments, or vice versa. A narrator delusional and slipping tenses and scenes as their memory twists. A cast of characters that includes a hallucinated reader from the future to portray our own thoughts as we read the chronicle. It’s an audacious undertaking... successfully done!
Palmer has created a deeply compassionate story which refuses to dehumanize anyone, which sees the tragedy in intractable conflict, and which makes the reader long not for a violent, spectacular climax, but for the conflict to end with as little loss of life as possible. The conflict in the story revolves around questions that are genuinely difficult to answer (most notably, "Would you sacrifice a better world to save this (all-around pretty good) one?") and character conflict arises from different answers to those questions. And it's hard to say which of those answers is right! I know who I side with, but it's also possible that my sympathy is a product of framing and perspective. I align with the protagonists, but is that because I agree with them, or because they're telling the story? I'm ready to go back and re-read the series, and wait patiently for book four.
Beautiful, dense, intricate... and real! Such a realistic feel to it! So unpredictable, and the plot always keeps you on your toes. I'm finally getting used to the Victorian voice, even three books in... I'm so excited for Perhaps the Stars to come out. This is probably the best series I've read in a decade. I wish it were a movie so it could reach a bigger audience, because it's almost impossible to describe to someone in under a minute. Then again, this might be the perfect medium for this type of story, with all the philosophy and exposition that's needed. Keep doing your thing Palmer!
This is totally a tangent, but since the first chapter of the first book in this series, I've always imagined Mycroft to look like a dumpier, squatter Uriah Heap. Which makes the action scenes in this book a little sillier than it should!

Anyways, I love this series and I savored the third installment. I'm glad this book moved away from some of the gender essentialism of the previous book to focus more on bureaucracy and war-making, which I love reading about! Some of the characters from the first two books are pushed off to the side, as if Mycroft didn't have enough money to hire them to be regulars in his book (of course, that's not true, but it's a funny image.) Mycroft and J.E.D.D Mason are joined by Achilles as the main trio of the story. I was happy Utopia played a larger role in this book! I hope the Brillists get some focus next time, because I think they're the Hive I'd be most likely to join.

If you liked books one and two, then what are you waiting for?
