This should be a sequel to " Terms of Service". I'd want to know how Kim survived in her world. A world run by AIs doesn't sound so appealing.

Books that revolve around a dystopian world always scare me because it seems that's how people believe the world will be in the future. The advancement of technology has improved our way of life but what if these AI machines revolt against their programmers? Unfortunately, I'm going to pass on this book.

This is an interesting review that clearly gives what’s in the book. I think this is prequel or sequel of Terms of Service. I’ll definitely love to read this too.

The book by Stanfill is a thought-provoking novel that encourages readers to reflect on their own beliefs about destiny and human experience. Congrats on the BOTD.

The reviewer of the book "The Prophecy of the Heron by Craig W. Stanfill" informed readers of what is to happen to their beloved Kim from the previous novel "Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill." The review was awesome, nice description and he did well to point out the errors in the book.

This book is truly unusual but captivating. I enjoyed Terms of Service and am sure to love this very much. The book is enthralling. Kim is my favourite character and I love her sheer determination. Thanks for your review. Congrats on being the BOTD.

I am fascinated by what a dystopian world that is run by AI looks like.
I congratulate the author for Book of the Day!

The author explores a human fear that AIs may run the world someday and delivers a great story. The main character, Kim, is easy to root for as she fights for survival. Congrats on BOTD.

Congrats on BOTD!
An banished Kim is the main character of this dystopian book. Although it is difficult to start a rebellion, I am confident it will make for an interesting read! Although it is the second book in the series, I like that it can be read on its own.

One thing I've noticed about author Stanfill is how quick he is to hit the hammer on the nail. To me, it's a good thing because I love fast-paced books. This seems to be a prequel of Terms of Service, so I definitely need to read this too. Congratulations on BOTD.

It's interesting that the author has this AI novel after I read another of his novels Terms of Service. I found the earlier one easy to read and enjoyable. Thanks for the review.

The review of this book seems to cover up essential part of the book that's capable of grabbing a reader's attention. Living in the world such as Kim's, is really depressing. This just makes me appreciate freedom even more. This is an amazing book, congratulations on BOTD Stanfill.
