I‘m almost done with Ice Forged, finally! Thoughts to come soon. In the meantime, I‘m starting this one.

About a dude who falls in love w/ an Android. Then they get kidnapped & ripped apart. He rescues them, pieces them back together, & goes on a hunt to kick the kidnappers asses. Sounds like it will be entertaining at the very least, & quite original as well. ☺️

Very interesting premise that delivered. Thought-provoking ad well-written with many disturbing & fascinating real world parallels, this is a thriller/love story/detective story that manages to address philosophical, moral & ethical issues without bogging the action down. There is a dark, unsettling humour, some grotesque characters & a couple of cringey over-cooked moments, but it remains believable (and it has robots so this is no mean feat!) ☟

readingjedi And the ending was amazing! A proper "what the heck happened?" and even more thrillingly "what happened next?!" Recommended. 6y
