On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.
Breq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Years ago, she was Justice of Toren–a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.
An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. And only one purpose–to revenge herself on Anaander Mianaai, many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch.

It just didn't capture my interest fast enough. Maybe I'll try again later.
I completely enjoyed Ancillary Justice and am looking forward to more from Ann Leckie.
For anyone who studies gender in science fiction, I’d consider it a must-read.
I found it also to be an engaging story and I liked her thoughts on how artificial and distributed intelligence might work.
I want to know what will happen in the next book, but this was a self-contained novel. It’s not like we’re going to be waiting years to find out if someone is actually dead or not.
