Reviews

[NerdyCirc · Rating 5 out of 5]

Has a wonderful description of how the world works without giving to much away. The detail into how the autovolts and other robots work is great. There is a point near the end where you think something terrible is about to happen, then it turns completely around. That twist, even though it turned out well, brought me to tears. A wonderful bittersweet ending to a wonderful bittersweet story. I believe this will stick with me for a long time.
