Defy the Stars
by Claudia Gray
”Where there’s no free will, there’s no sin.”
The idea of robots developing enough intelligence and feelings to pass as human beings in reality is terrifying to me, but in fiction it allows the story to explore what it means to be human and the concept of humanity, which is a topic that you find in this book and that I really enjoyed.
The characters are very likeable and I enjoyed the romance a lot, I’ve never read a robot/human love story. I liked how it was developed and how tender Noemi and Abel ended up being with each other, the sweet moments as well as the sad ones were really touching.
The plot is action-packed, fast and it doesn’t get boring, which was really fun. The writing and world building are pretty simple, which I didn’t mind, but while I like the dual POV sometimes I found it difficult to tell which one of them I was reading from. I also thought Noemi’s grief wasn’t explored very well, it seemed to be almost an afterthought. Other than that, I don’t have many complaints and I’m excited to read the rest of the series.
