The record-breaking debut novel that won every major science fiction award in 2014, Ancillary Justice is the story of a warship trapped in a human body and her search for revenge.
Ann Leckie is the first author to win the Arthur C. Clarke, the Nebula and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in the same year.

They made me kill thousands, but I only have one target now.

The Radch are conquerors to be feared - resist and they'll turn you into a 'corpse soldier' - one of an army of dead prisoners animated by a warship's AI mind. Whole planets are conquered by their own people.
The colossal warship called The Justice of Toren has been destroyed - but one ship-possessed soldier has escaped the devastation. Used to controlling thousands of hands, thousands of mouths, The Justice now has only two hands, and one mouth with which to tell her tale.
But one fragile, human body might just be enough to take revenge against those who destroyed her.

Ich habe mir schwer getan mit dem Verständnis. Wahrscheinlich weil das Buch keinen Bezug zur Gegenwart und zur Erde herstellt und weil es hauptsächlich von den Gesprächen lebt die mir aber ziemlich genial vorgekommen sind. Das Buch ist in der Ego Perspektive geschrieben aus der Sicht eines Raumschiffs das mehrere Personen und so wie ich die Geschichte verstanden habe gehört die zu einer Art Besatzungsmacht und es geht um den Umgang untereinander und mit den Unterdrückten. Getötet wird hier als wäre es Kaffee kochen und man hat nicht einmal ein emotionales Problem damit. Die Hauptperson hat ein Faible für Lieder und Tee. Ausserdem spielt Religiosität eine Rolle. Die Sprecherin ist herausragend.

Kampf der multipersonalen Persönlichkeiten

This book isn't for those, who wish their characters articulate about their own feelings our even completely aware of their own wishes and interests. The narrator is the surviving piece of an AI and an unreliable narrator of her own inner turmoil. Which, to people who struggle with their own motivations and emotions is intimately familiar.
All characters are believable. The world big, full, small, dark and empty at the same time and if it feels like a contradiction to you, you might better understand the position of the main character.
The story is a furious ride, the narrator has delightful accents that very much seem exotic and familiar at the same time.
I enjoyed every step in this universe.

I can't wait to buy the next books in the series and I sort of regret I read Translation State before. This seems a far better introduction to the world.

Rightfully award winning science fiction. Primed to become a classic. Deep dive into the world of the Raadch and the freeing of a new species.

Incredible characters and story.

Please be advised that this is the first novel of a trilogy and as a stand alone book it would be okay. Looking on all three books together however, the story goes downhill from here.

I found this book reasonable and intriguing enough to be attached to the story until the end. It was fun to observe how the story switches between a star ships AI "downloaded" in multiple characters and the lone wolf person this very AI ended up. This person is fond of songs and tee and tee and songs and in between he meets a former shipmate and plans a revenge on his master(s) and we learn who it feels to be an AI in a single (human) body.

The mystery of incarceration

This text offers an interesting take on AI/cyborg/hive-mind tropes insofar as it features a formally hive-minded-now-singularily embodied AI as narrator. The humanness of the narrator is in question and at the same time undeniable, at least if one does not use neurotypicality as the measuring stick for what is human and what is not. The personal story is as intriguing as the political struggle the narrator inadvertently gets roped into.

A complex but fascinating SF story
