From there, the battle between Juno, a human and Lyra, a robot begins. Will Juno, a human with emotions, heart and soul which are fundamental things to create art win? Or will Lyra, a miracle of Science and Technology win?
Reasons I gave this book 4 stars (Please keep in mind that I went into this book with very low expectations because I have never finished a single book by this author)
1. This is a fantasy/sci-fi book by a Burmese author
2. The names is very beautiful and poetic. By names, I don't mean characters' names. I meant the book title and the names of the dances.(Dancers give their own dances very pretty names)
3. I like the setting and landscapes in this future world.
4. The final part was bomb.
Just before reaching the final part, I was just going to give this book 3 stars. The dialogues are kind of funny at times. And I don't completely agree with the author's view about Science. But the final part was really good and made me feel some things, so it became a 4 stars.
