Roko's Basilisk by Michael Blackbourn
4.0
Roko's Basilisk was a truly intriguing story, somewhat of a fresh spin on the "AIs are going to turn evil and enslave/torture/kill us all" plot. The characters were well-constructed, each with their own unique voice -- which made me super happy. Good characters are one of the big things I look for in a story. I've gotta have at least a couple to latch on to. An interesting plot isn't enough for me!
I will say, however, that it could use a bit of . . . smoothing out. It was rather wordy in some places. The dialogue often went on a too long without a break, and it was hard to tell who was speaking at times. Scenery descriptions were clear and concise for the most part, though.
All in all, I enjoyed it, and I've already added the sequel to my TBR pile!
