Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards: This record-breaking novel follows a warship trapped in a human body on a quest for revenge. A must read for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin and James S. A. Corey.
"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." -- John Scalzi
On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.
Once, she was the Justice of Toren -- a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.
Now, an act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with one fragile human body, unanswered questions, and a burning desire for vengeance.

“Wildly original, challenges sci-fi tropes and reinvents whole new concepts.
I struggled with this at first. The vague mission of the main character and their confusing use of pronouns made this hard to initially follow. I felt hooks in me when the fisherman approached the lieutenant about the guns beneath the water. And I only felt myself get pulled deeper from there. Though the beginning was certainly slower, I loved the way this unfolded — one piece at a time. The twists themselves were jaw dropping. You watch the author invent this fascinating world with all these rules only to break them all at once.
Reading this from the perspective of a once all knowing AI torn apart was what made this, for me, I think.”
