Obsidio by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman

4.5 stars

One of the things that I appreciate so much about this series is their ability to discuss hard hitting topics, while keeping humor and lightness to it. For example, is AIDAN evil? Or is he just without Humanity? Can we expect him to have humanity when he is just AI? But, then he seemed to evolve more, bringing in the question if we give something intelligence, could it grow to be more?

I also loved what they said about Asha, that the other two Heroines were bad asses and competent, but that Asha was just a normal girl that did not excel in anything really. That she could have been one of "us" and yet, here she was standing up to those that are bigger and badder than she is. This arguably makes her braver than the others, because she knows that she doesn't have tai kwon do training, or massive hacking skills in her pocket. She is just a regular girl, standing up for what is right.

And MAN, did there need to be SO many heartbreaks, then JK's?
