Can I have Ops?
Ancillary Justice was absolutely excellent in my opinion. I am now reading Ancillary Sword and also enjoying it.
It reminds me a lot of Iain M Banks Culture novels, or even (dare I say it) Ursula Le Guin.
The references to both the Roman and British empire (Citizen and tea drinking respectively) are excellent and the use of a AI in a human body is refreshing. I really loved how Breq is taken with human gestures and the fact the stories are "small" within a large universe / problem. Ancillary Sword is really about some local politics on a tea producing planet - very Banks indeed.
The novel it reminds me of most is "Grass" by (guess - Tepper?) which is also about culture of an alien / sort of human race.
