anxiousnachos's review against another edition
4.5
4.5 stars. Well this was delicious. My first read in the Machine Mandate series, and I was thoroughly enthralled. The prose is absolutely wonderful - lush and reverent and over the top and evocative and all-consuming and just absolutely brutally sexy. This is a bloody and gory AI sci-fi but make it really horny. I give you this quote, which just destroyed me: “I want us to ruin each other like two cannibal stars.” Gaaaah.
