 Just the "Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie (2013)".
 There is cloning all over SF.  Miles Vorkosigan is cloned with a brother along with many others in the Vorkosigan books on the Jackson's Whole planet.  Miles and his family even treat his clone brother as a full fledged family member.
 In the Final Architecture books ("Shards Of Earth"), there is a entire group of female cloned warriors, the Parthenon, who are feared and hated across the galaxy.

Jackson's Whole: there's a whole clan of physicians cloned from a single progenitor- the Durona clan, if I recall correctly. They were instrumental in helping Mark escape from the Whole, and had small roles in later books (Ivan's fiance was supposed to connect with them when she went on the run).
