All Systems Red by Martha Wells

4.0

A near-perfect novella! I'm a suckerrrr for stories with or about AI/cyborg/android characters so this was already looking promising for me. It felt like very cinematic, and I could easily picture the planet and scenes Well painted. The ending was the only thing I wish was a little more solid; I think it's slightly lazy to have characters pass out at critical moments and then wake up to find a problem has been solved. That being said, I've already requested the next book from my library and plan on reading the whole series - they seem like wonderful pockets of sci-fi goodness. :3
