Ancillary Justice
Ann Leckie

5/5 Stars
A Summary, “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 the 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.” Amazon.com
Ancillary Justice starts with a bang and keeps going at an engaging clip all the way through. The book is an incredible mix of action, intrigue, and a good dose of the mildly unexplainable. I haven’t read a better Space Opera or even Science Fiction book in years. To think that this is Ann Leckie’s first book makes my mind whorl at the thought of what her next book will be like. This work is amazing and everyone who has ever even thought they liked Science Fiction should read it. The characters, setting, and even the action sequences are so well laid out and structured that if I was going to teach a how to course in writing Science Fiction or ANY genre fiction I would use this book as my prime example. I loved the book from beginning to end. I would venture to say that John Scalzi’s throne might be threatened as greatest science fiction writer of the 21st century. I cannot wait to see what Ann Leckie writes next.
