The Life Engineered
by J-F. Dubeau
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
An interesting, unique take on the robot subgenre of science fiction. It's a quick read that flows nicely, and you're quickly entranced in the story. I really enjoyed it for about three fourths of the novel and thought that it would get a 4 star rating, but I was a little disappointed in the ending, which wrapped up too quickly. I felt like the ending was rushed, a complaint I often have regarding science fiction novels. Some of the plot points were also left unresolved, but not in an on-purpose-left-ambiguous way, but more in a what-happened-to-this-it-just-was-kind-of-never-really-addressed-again kind of way. Overall, an ambitious novel with some great ideas that falls a bit short in execution.
