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.
This one took a bit of warming up to, the perspective of the main character/narrator was a bit hard to follow at first, but once I saw what was going on it became easier. Definitely a page turner. I enjoyed the novel perspective, and found myself quite attached to the characters by the end. A friend lent my all 3 of the books in the series, and I can't wait to dig into the next one.
It's nice to read a story which involves a believable AI. I am surprised that there isn't a broader breakdown of personality -- something along the lines of Altered Carbon. Also, I'm surprised that the AI loyalty to the Radch Empire is so strong, given how intelligent and wily they are.
