Book Thoughts: Ancillary Justice
I finished Ancillary Justice the other day, a Sci-Fi book that's been on my reading list since it snagged a Hugo back in 2014
The premise is fantastic -- the protagonist is a vengeful warship AI bound to a single body, but accustomed to several hundred (plus ship sensors and bio sensors on soldiers). On their journey they make some very human relationships.
For once I honestly have nothing to complain about with this one. It was smart, funny, empathetic and interesting. The author's storytelling and setup was great, the universe was compelling, the goals were clear once announced. The character development was also great, and the whole everyone-is-a-she thing definitely did some interesting things to reader perception.
I'm really happy where book one in the series ended and I've read that the later books are a little slow, so I may just treat this one as a one-off happily-ever-after and move to some other interesting items.
Highly recommended; that Hugo guy knows what he's doing when it comes to picking books.
