Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha LeeRead about another entry on the list.
In this exciting military space opera, a disgraced captain is given a second chance, but it comes with a high price. Captain Kel Cheris is grateful that Kel Command has decided to take one more chance on her and give her a new assignment. She is to capture the Fortress of Scattered Needles back from the heretics. Complicating matters is undead tactician Shuos Jedao, who might be able to offer Cheris her best strategy for retaking the fortress. But he also went mad and massacred a bunch of people in his first life, so she has that possibility hanging over her mission, as well as the fear of failure.
