It’s a very ambitious book. The world building is great and all of the lore re: androids and the amusement park and the history of Hope City is super engaging. The characters, however, are flat and dull. Eliana is the character we spend the most time with, and she’s extremely inconsistent and seems to devolve over the course of the story, which is a little disheartening. 

The prose isn’t great either, but the dialogue makes up for that by being snappy and entertaining.
