Defy the Stars
by Claudia Gray
This is what I've been looking for, a love story between and AI and humanity. I see plots like that on screen, but I haven't come across it in books. This takes place in the future where most people live in space, because Earth has fallen apart. Noemi Vidal is a soldier from the planet Genesis and she is on a mission to save her planet from ending up like Earth. Abel is a very advanced AI created by a famous British Cybergenetists Scientist, Burton Mansfield. During a practice mission Noemi's best friend is killed while investigating a suspicious ship, the Daedalus, where Abel is in cryogenic sleep. Abel and Noemi cross paths and she is all set to kill, but decides against. She decides Abel might be able to help her on her mission, but soon she begins to see signs may be more human than she wants.
This is a sweet love story and very fun. With Abel being an AI he is awkward and has a logical minded brain, so the changes are subtle in him. There is a lot of him citing numbers and data, which can be boring and tedious. His infamous knowledge can make him seem arrogant, but at times it is endearing. It is a long book, but fast paced as these characters have a time limit. Side characters like Virginia of the Razors are fun entertaining characters. We have a villain who doesn't seem to be a villain at first and has emotional ties to one of our main characters adding a layer to the story. Abel's developing bond with Noemi and growing human traits creates a beautiful story that examines what makes us human. This is a first book in a trilogy and I look forward to reading the other two books.
