The word of this term is procrastination. Maybe I am making yet another effort to catch up with this record, but I am doing it to avoid doing something that I am supposed to be doing for work. And so it goes.
This features a girl's "school" in a rather distopic future. The students are selected based on some undefined genetic criteria and purchased from their parents. At the school, they are trained in all manner of armed and unarmed combat and subjected to a series of modifications to make them faster, stronger, etc. Sound like the lead in to "The Six-Million Dollar Man"? Is there is anyone out there who remembers that seventies series starring Lee Majors. Of course, I don't think they had "invented" nanites back then.
The girls are the property of a megacorp one branch of which features a corps of mercenaries. The story has two distinct segments: one is the story of their training and modification and the second the first round of adventures; all centering on Sigrid who is physically the smallest of her class but, in the manner of space opera heroes, excels in the end.
Yes, the predictable sequel has been released.
