Slow to start, but once it got rolling the storyline was fun and entertaining. I loved the personality of M-Bot, and the struggle the protagonist faced with her father's history and her place in a sci-fi based world.

Het verhaal greep me, en ik vergat zelfs dat het in de afgrijselijke ik-vorm geschreven was. Normaal denk ik dan het hele verhaal dat ik nooit zo zou reageren, iedere keer als ik "ik" lees, maar bij de betere verhalen vergeet ik die denkwijze. Het leest lekker vlot, er zitten mooie thema's in, zoals: wat is laf en wat is moed, wat doet afkomst met hoe er naar je gekeken wordt en de speurtocht naar wie je bent en daarmee in het reine komen. De actie is heerlijk, M-Bot brengt humor in het verhaal en hoewel ik aan Spensa moest wennen, vind ik haar een leuke hoofdpersoon. Al met al een erg leuke yaffie..

I've looked at this book for a long time before I eventually dared to start reading it. I'm not a science fiction fan, it was big, so it kind of scared me? Unnecessary, so it became clear pretty fast. It's an interesting story, and more important, I loved the characters. They felt 3d, real. Sometimes annoying, sometimes judging and sometimes heroic, but they had a very nice mix of character traits. What I liked most of all was that the assumptions you made in the beginning weren't necessarily true. The archetypes you'd expect were not what you think they would be. Nice surprise!
