I don’t ever really know what to say about this book. I feel like not much happened in the span of the book, it felt like it was setting us up for the second one. I love the plot line, the whole idea for the book it’s very intriguing. I just can’t shake how it’s 400 pages and barley anything happen.

After the war of kinds, an artificial intelligent race called Automae have become the ruling class of Zulla. Crier, the sovereign’s daughter, and Ayla, a human servant, find their lives intertwined as a revolution brews and the anti-human movement rises.
Crier’s character in the beginning felt a bit stereotypical to me, but the progression of her personality was done really well. I loved seeing her develop her own thoughts and become more independent and rebellious.
Ayla’s history is a cool aspect of the story even though we don’t see a whole lot of it from her perspective. It adds some needed substance to the twists and mystery of the book.
One thing I wish we got to see more of was the ‘magic’ system with the makers because it is super interesting to me.I also think the one sided romance with Benjy towards Ayla was unnecessary. I’d rather see them have a familial/platonic love story. It wasn’t needed for tension or plot progression so I don’t know what it was added. Overall though I loved the world building and the characters. A great book to read in a day!

I feel just ok about this book. It was good, and I enjoyed reading it, but there were large paragraphs in the beginning that were solely dedicated to explaining the world (which I glazed over for bc I knew for a fact I wouldn't retain it unless it came up later, and most of it never came up again!). That being said, I WAS still intrigued despite the excessive world-building. And above all else it was definitely well written
