Now isolated in a single frail human body, Breq, an artificial intelligence that used to control of a massive starship and its crew of soldiers, tries to adjust to her new humanity while seeking vengeance and answers to her questions.
A re-read. I really love this series. The universe Leckie has created is inventive, but also clearly a reflection of our own. A menacing external threat, a mysterious internal threat, and a completely inventive and intriguing narrator. If it had a space battle, it might be one of my most favorite sci-fi books ever.
Really enjoyed this book. In some ways it's a classic space opera but there's enough twists on the formula that it feels super fresh. Fascinating explorations of identity, language, and class. The writing was fun and engaging, I ate this book up.
