On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.
Once, she was the Justice of Toren--a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.
Now, an act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with one fragile human body, unanswered questions, and a burning desire for vengeance.
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.
