Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff
4.0

A new series from an author that's quickly making it into my favourites list, this seemed like a great entry point into sci-fi for young adults. A lot of robots, a post-apocalyptic world, some compelling characters and all of that young adult romance that I'm rather over myself, but there always seems to be at least one lovey dovey couple.
I'm not a huge fan of the language that's gone all futuristic here, there's a lot of new (but not quite) terminology that's easy enough to catch on with, but did seem a bit over the top.
There was also a bit of drag in the plot (and in my willingness to read) near the middle there, but it was well worth hanging around till the end, where all the plot twists and craziness suddenly culminated into a mad ending that I think leads really well into a potential opening for book 2. Promise to get to reading that eventually.
