Finished Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie this morning. A very challenging book, as the Goodreads ratings show. People either hate it or love it.
The protagonist is a self-aware AI. It is both a troop ship and thousands of ancillaries (reanimated human bodies). The first few chapters were especially hard when the perspective changes, sometimes paragraph to paragraph, between various ancillaries. Then there's the gender thing. Everybody is 'she' even when maybe they're 'he'.
The first 1/4 of the book was a struggle, but things really come together by the 1/2 way point and end with a bang. 5 stars.
