A review by aweirdgirlreads
The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang

dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

liked the concept even if it’s not the most original. i read it in one sitting because it’s super easy to get invested in and impossible to put down. all of the characters fell quite flat but i still found myself empathizing with them and caring about their stories. the writing was quite basic but not so bad that it got in the way or distracted me from the story. i just wish there had been more of every aspect because it had such potential.
