I appreciate Stanfill's ability to bring this dystopian society to life. There is no individualism in this world. People use "we/us" instead of "me/I" when referring to themselves, and all citizens remain genderless in their descriptions. The author created an outrageous world order while keeping the main character relatable. Readers can draw inferences about issues with today's governments and leaders with how Kim and her friends are controlled by "the Hierarchy." The people in this book cower in fear, unable to speak up, act out, or be individuals. The message behind this plot makes readers consider how wonderful it is to have individual expression and free will.

I found nothing to dislike about this novel. I ended the book all too soon and was looking for the next book in the series. I enjoyed learning about the range of AI throughout the book and was thrilled by the many plot twists. It was frustrating to read about Kim's life unraveling through each action she made, but in a heart-aching way that made the pages keep turning. I appreciate the author's ability to create depth in a character that was as visually non-descript to the reader as the rest of society. I found only one minor punctuation error in the text. This novel is well-edited.

I rate Terms of Service: Subject to Change Without Notice 5 out of 5 stars. I found the storyline engaging and unpredictable. The setting is unique, and the technology outlined in the story is fascinating. The author packed layers of meaning into an enjoyable fantasy novel. The one minor error I found did not affect my enjoyment of the book and therefore did not impact my rating.
This book is very amazing i can see myself in the book having the experiences and adventures. Would recommend 10/10
