Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, British Science Fiction, Locus and Arthur C. Clarke Awards.
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.
My Review
I picked up Ancillary Justice because it was science fiction written by a woman, and it had won tons of awards this year including both the Nebula and Hugo awards. I don’t normally read science fiction, I'm more of a fantasy with dragons kind of girl, but I had to see what all the talk concerning the space opera trilogy was all about.
I am so glad I took the chance to read Ancillary Justice. It started out a little slowly, because there is a TON of information to process, but overall it was fantastic. It also needed to start a little slowly, I believe, because of all that information.
