batsinthecastle 's review for:
The Diabolic
by S.J. Kincaid
I received this as an ARC at BEA this year. Having loved Sj's previous series (Insiginia), I was excited to get into this one. But, and maybe it's because so many books right now are doing the Sci Fi humanoid/android thing, I wasn't over the moon for this one.
I know my teens will enjoy it because it's a little different, but I found the setting and characters just okay. The beginning action (pg.1-100) is very slow and requires a lot of patience.
That being said, it was interesting reading the story from an anti-hero's perspective. I call Nemesis that because, in this world, she isn't human and her programming tells her to be ready to kill someone every so often. It's weird, and yet we still cheer for her.
