@spectru--It is funny. I liked the part that you said bogged down. And I saw the AI as a woman (Uma Thurman in a Kill Bill sort of way). I saw Seivarden as male and Awn as female. I was not sure about Awn's lover.

I do like the fact that we "see" it differently even though I didn't like the book that much. 

The more that I'm thinking about it--especially in reference to what you said about the length of pauses--I think Leckie hampered herself by having the AI be the narrator. One of the things that drove me crazy was Brecq's descriptions of her facial features--"I raised my left eyebrow to show concern." I know what Leckie was trying to accomplish, but the repetition of similar sentences was annoying.
