Based on another recommendation, I picked up Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie.
Ancillary Justice is about a former warship Artificial Intelligence that is now trapped in a human body and looking for revenge.
This is good sci fi. An interesting idea and well written story. As it went, the gender pronouns were screwy. Not explained right away, but the main society in Ancillary Justice is gender neutral, but that meant every person was a “she”. It was confusing enough – and not really necessary – that I almost put the book down. But the story intrigued me, and the writing was good. I’m glad I kept reading. I enjoyed it and ignored the gender designations, which was probably the point. Or not. I just ignored it.
The story comes to a satisfying resolution. For a “first novel,” it is a great book and I highly recommend it. More of a college, adult fare, but a great book.
Peace.
