Description
Justice for all
Breq - the soldier who used to be a spaceship - is serving the emperor she swore to destroy. She's been given her own warship, her own crew, and ordered to the only place in the galaxy she would have agreed to go: to Athoek Station, to protect the family of the lieutenant she murdered in cold blood. Athoek was annexed by the Empire some 600 years ago, and by now everyone is fully 'civilised'. Or should be - but everything is not as tranquil as it appears. Old divisions are still troublesome, Athoek Station's AI is restless, and it looks like the alien Presger might have taken an interest in what's going on. With no guarantees that their interest is benevolent.

Breq is a soldier who used to be a warship. Once a weapon of conquest controlling thousands of minds, now she has only a single body and serves the emperor. With a new ship and a troublesome crew, Breq is ordered to go to the only place in the galaxy she would agree to go: to Athoek Station to protect the family of a lieutenant she once knew—a lieutenant she murdered in cold blood.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 56
For centuries, the kingdom of Iraden has been protected by the god known as the Raven. He watches over his territory from atop a tower in the powerful port of Vastai. His will is enacted through the Raven's Lease, a human ruler chosen by the god himself. His magic is sustained via the blood sacrifice that every Lease must offer. And under the Raven's watch, the city flourishes. But the power of the Raven is weakening. A usurper has claimed the throne. The kingdom borders are tested by invaders who long for the prosperity that Vastai boasts.

Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying—from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn’t outrun. Cara’s life has been cut short on 372 worlds in total. On this dystopian Earth, however, Cara has survived. Identified as an outlier and therefore a perfect candidate for multiverse travel, Cara is plucked from the dirt of the wastelands.

best feminist science fiction out there.
this series does a fantastic job of taking you into the perspective of an artificial intelligence. The ever present 'He' of so many fantasy stories is imverted. Indeed there are so many 'she's that you think, maybe that's just how this consciousness perceives humans.
Being 'wired' to be utterly assimilated by an intelligence capable of being in many places simultaneously, the protagonist, Justice of Torins, frequently collapses the experiences of a single moment from disparate locations.
This narrative technique can be disorienting, and I could certainly see how some readers would find unpleasantly challenging. There are a lot of unfamiliar names, and a whole galactic history that the reader needs to keep tabs on in addition to the interesting narrative play. That can be a lot if you just want to disappear into a story you've read a hundred times by different names.
Mature readers should enjoy this book. The action that it offers is subdued. It is more 2001 Space Odyssey than it is Michael Bay's Transformers. Like does a great job of constructing a compelling diplomatic adventure. It is a kind of clever stories we need more of.

Terrible narration
The Narration for this book was, by far, the worst I have heard on audible. The screeching voice for certain characters made it almost unlistenable. Painful to listen to. The story was fine, but why they chose this painful narrator is beyond me.

Diverse perspectives
Loved the play on perspectives that the protagonist continually brings and the exploration of gender in this culture where all use she/her pronouns. Complex to follow sometimes but narrator does a great job with diverse voices. I'm definitely hooked and excited for the next book.
