A delightful space opera novella about love transcending time and the inherent malevolence of AI technology left unchecked.

Bravo. Novel·la curta, però ben muntada. No li cal massa més. El primer capítol descol·loca una mica, però després entens el què. Bravo.

This was a case of it's not you it's me. I enjoyed the writing and the overall concept of the book but I didn't find the two main characters to be that emotionally compelling. Ahmale, our main character, is supposed to be over 20,000 years old but she acts more like someone in their late twenties to mid thirties. Kind of like Eleanor shellstrop from the good place but not as fun or charming. the whole red pill blue pill thing kind of gave me an eye roll but I think if they were able to develop the story more it would be better. Carloman gave me guy who thinks he's the smartest in the room vibes. I just didn't really care about whether they succeeded or not or whatever happened to them. I won't lie, the romance was kind of cute though.

Actually scratch that about the writing most of it was fine but when there was this one scene where

ahmale get dressed in her outfit or whatever for meeting her company bosses people I don't know. And she looks in the mirror and says "pretty badass" to herself and I thought that scene was so hilarious because it's so weird, and I don't think real people talk like that, but I guess people in the future talk like that.
