LIFEL1K3
by Jay Kristoff
LIFEL1K3 introduces us to Eve, a 17-year old girl who competes in robot gladiator fights to earn money to care for her sick grandfather, the only family member she has left. After getting her best friend to bet on her for a big fight, Eve's gladiator is destroyed and she's almost killed. But then she manages to stop the large Logika using just her mind and a scream. Unfortunately Eve technically lost the fight so they're out of money.
When walking home with her Logika Cricket and bestest Lem, Eve stumbles across an android boy missing an arm. Not only is he an android, he's a Lifelike: an outlawed Logika which were no longer produced after the original prototypes started killing humans. They take the Lifelike home to Eve's grandfather and are confused when he wakes up, claiming that he knows Eve and her grandfather. But he knows Eve as Ana. Who is Ana, and how does the strange Lifelike know Eve??
So I'm not a huge sci-fi/dystopian fan, but my gosh, this book blew my mind! Eve gave me Cinder vibes at the beginning but very quickly, I realised this book is nothing like anything I've ever read before. I loved the twists and the turns (and there are so many good twists) and this book constantly kept me on my toes.
The first half of the book I was just totally confused, trying to piece together what was happening and what had happened, etc. But that second half once the reveals start coming. Oh boy! This has to be one of the best books I've read this year, if not ever. I just loved it!
Highly recommend to everyone!! Just need to get started on the sequel. I NEED ANSWERS!!!
