Check out Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice series.

For a long while you're not actually sure what species the characters are, what their defining features are, if they even have gender, and/or how many limbs they have.

You just know what they're like from their cutting remarks to one another.

It's a series that focuses solely on plot and has a very loose definition of identity (and it's awesome)
