The book title made me wonder what will be discussed in this book. I like the cover and the attractive blurb.

Latest Review: The Cursed by Beth Schluter

Post by Olga Markova »

A great book and although it is a fantasy, it is a realistic fantasy of what the world should be expecting in a few decades with technology and AI advancing and replacing humans in many important spheres of human life. Excellent book, full of thrill and thought-provoking, and I unreservedly rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

I love the book's storyline; this was the first thing that drew me to the book. I also fell in love with the book's cover; it's intriguing. I don't think there's anything I disliked about the book. I loved everything about the book. The author really took his time with it.

I really enjoyed this book. There was nothing I disliked about the book. I give the book a full rating because there was no reason to deduct a star from it. The storyline was especially beautiful.

That's such a great take! Very well said.

Me too. Did it also bother you that the tower is described as "windowless" even though there's windows on the cover?

Elle R McTiph wrote: 02 Dec 2022, 00:21 I really like the world as a whole and the main character, Kim. The author's take on the futuristic AI society is a subtle twist on a genre convention in that the AI are slaves and don't have autonomy. Kim was also a wonderful main character, I liked her relationship with Shan.
I liked Kim too! The character has a very interesting development arch.

I loved the entire book and am excited about the next installment. I was interested in Kim's story and enjoyed her journey discovering the right and wrongs of the community she is a part of. I also enjoyed the emotional connection Kim made with her AI Kimberly. The pace was perfect, in my opinion, and the writing style flowed together flawlessly. I recommend this to everyone.

Latest Review: Love Letters to the Virgin Mary by David Richards

Post by Kelsey Roy »

I really liked this book. The mix of science fiction and fantasy involving artificial intelligence was fascinating. I think the author did an excellent job of developing this dystopian society and giving each character a voice even in a society that shuns individuality. I cannot imagine living in a society where a person is stripped of all personal freedoms in the pursuit of equality and efficiency. Technology in this book is frightening. I rated this well-edited book 5/5 stars!

Latest Review: Snippets from a Twisted Mind by Sean O’Banion

Post by Rocky Ellery James Tumbelaka »

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. The way the author wrote the story is what I like the most. The cliffhanger for something much bigger in the next book is what I can't wait to read. Kimberly is my favorite character in the whole book. She thought me that even a machine can separate right from wrong.
