Now isolated in a single frail human body, Breq, an artificial intelligence that used to control of a massive starship and its crew of soldiers, tries to adjust to her new humanity while seeking vengeance and answers to her questions.
lquilter: Fans of either Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness or Leckie's Ancillary Justice should enjoy the other. In common, the pacing, character-centered perspective obscuring aspects of the universe, political machinations, far-future setting, and treatment of ethics; also interesting for its simultaneous foregrounding and backgrounding of gender.… (més)
libron: Ancillary Justice is great - but for a nuanced, riveting treatment of AI, Moriarty has her beat, hands down. I hope to see more rigorous explorations in future of what Leckie has limned in her first outing.
libron: Arnason's depiction of an alternative (alien) gender/social structure is awesome. I hope Leckie can flesh her own ideas out further beyond pronoun ambiguity in forthcoming books.
sandstone78: Some of the dynamics in Leckie's Ancillary Justice remind me of the much more obscure single-volume space opera Wright's A Matter of Oaths about two warring immortal emperors and a protagonist with a mysterious connection to them- if you like one, you may like the other.… (més)
incredible world-building complete with sentient starships and a rogue "ancillary" unit (a human body controlled by AI) hell-bent on revenge makes for one of the best science fiction thrillers I've ever read. ( )
Damn, I love a good space opera, and Ancillary Justice hit almost all my niche loves in the genre. The play on gender-neutral language/culture was enough to be interesting and thought provoking, without dominating the narrative. The central "mystery" of the story is unraveled in a pretty appropriate timing so you aren't lost but kept waiting to learn more. I'm glad there's more to this series and setting so I can keep going.

I really enjoyed this! It's a very complex and ambitious narrative that I think Leckie balanced masterfully, but I do feel another reading is in order to fully appreciate it. I know it's a good book when I've finished reading, but I still get pangs of "Aw, I wish I wasn't done," and Ancillary Justice is definitely one of those books. I also enjoy characters that make me feel one way at the start and completely differently by the end (Seivarden in this case). I'm eager for the sequel. ( )
This book will not be for everyone. It takes it's time laying out the world and deals heavily with some big philosophical questions.
Still this is a book that shows what is best about science fiction. Big questions with murky answers. The best part of the book is Breq. One of the most fascinating characters I have read about in years.
I loved the ending and look forward to the next book. ( )

The body lay naked and facedown, a deathly gray, spatters of blood staining the snow around it.

Surely it isn't illegal here to complain about young people these days? How cruel. I had thought it a basic part of human nature, one of the few universally practiced human customs.
