A really nice little book about a woman who has lost her memory and chooses to be a gladiator rather than a harlot. Some interesting themes of science, the rights of women, war, even democracy, but none of them go too deep. That's my central issue with this book: no depth. It's a delight to read, and I love the way the author keeps the first person sort of clipped, like you imagine the internal thoughts of the protagonist to be. The book ends far to quickly with very little resolution. Well, there's a half-hearted, sci-fi from nowhere resolution. Ok, it's not from nowhere, but it was still unsatisfying.

They called her Zadieyek of Gyre, which meant dreaded woman. She was a fighter, dangerous to confront. Dreaded. The distant city of Gyre trained such women, so they thought she came from there. If she had a real name and a true birthplace, she could not remember them. Her life had apparently begun with her sale to the Arena for a short brief stardom fighting vicious men and savage beasts. Because she was a skilled gladiator, she became an object of value. Bids were made for her body, by those who wanted a winner, or a valued slave. For herself, she wanted freedom.
