Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
My Twentieth book for ljbookbingo is Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie for the Sci-fi Square, table found here:
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. ~Amazon Description
This was a very well written book. I can't say too much because spoilers, but basically the author drops you in the middle of Breq's story and only gives you clues here and there about what is actually going on. The story jumps from the present where Breq is on a quest of vengeance to the past and shows you how the ai was betrayed. I especially loved Berq and Seivarden's relationship, they start out as antagonistic strangers and grow into loyal allies (while still pretending not to like each other although they really do). I highly recommend it.
