A review by forevermorepages

I'm going to do a quick review here because I don't have the patience to review this on my blog and tack it to the long list of Reviews I Should Have Done A Week Ago.

Okay, so. This book is actually pretty good. It's really well written and the plot is super original. I think my main issue with it was the last hundred or so pages (not as interesting). I also thought it was completely unnecessary to have those robot/human sex scenes. Uh...no thanks, not for me. And along with that, is it really necessary to use the derogatory f-word for a gay person on page?? Seriously?? It was really painful to read that so. many. times.

But anyway, if you're looking for something really original that's science-y and robot-y and has weird futuristic drugs, this is the book for you!!

And I highkey loved that history was still important even though it's 100 years in the future...like YES. And I actually knew what they were talking about?? Whoa there.

Last thing, I loved the diversity in this book. But I do think in 100 years, homophobia will be a l i t t l e less rampant.
