Prisoners of Peace

YA
Prisoners of Peace series.
A newly minted AI, Greta (The Scorpion Rules) is struggling with the differences between her formerly human self and her new self. She finds surprising solace in her relationship with Talis, the AI dictator for peace, and the Swan Riders, members of Talis's army. Standout world-building and the exploration of big questions that science fiction so readily facilitates (e.g., what makes us human?) will satisfy readers.

YA
Prisoners of Peace series.
Pan Polar Confederacy princess Greta and the world's other royal children are held hostage: if a leader goes to war, his or her child is killed; if that child survives to eighteen, he or she is released. There's a welcome spin on the damsel-in-distress-falls-for-rebellious-boy trope--Greta's love interest is Da-Xia, Daughter of Heaven, rather than insurrectionary hostage Elián. A smart, compelling Hunger Games read-alike.
