dark funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.25

the one and only book I’ve found so far to answer the “is the robot human?” question with “well, have you asked it if it wants to be?”. also, a protagonist who uses exclusively it/its pronouns while also having its ENTIRE story centred around how it is in fact a person, just not a human one. I’ll accept nonhuman rep when it’s this damn good
