Despite the author's grim futuristic outlook, I really enjoyed the sequel to my first sci-fi book. In this novel, I can't wait to see what happens to Kim and Shan. I'll definitely pick up this book shortly. Congratulations on BOTD!

Science fiction can be tough to read. It is commendable that this book though is sci-fi, is easy to read. Reading about AI who are slaves rather than oppressors sounds like an interesting storyline.

Finally! I am excited to see the sequel of Terms of Service. Can't wait to see what becomes of Kim after she was expelled to the outer world. I am curious to know how the big corporations will continue to control AI. This promises to be an amazing read. Beautiful review.

I love the cover. Yet I thought the book would not be for me, since I am not into science fiction. However, reading the review made me change my mind

Craig W. Stanfill has got a nice concept in this series. I am impressed reading the wonderful things you highlighted in your review of this novel, like the work put into the character development which creates a favourable condition for the readers to even connect with the characters emotionally. The twist in the setting trope is also a welcome development.

It's great that you can read Stanfill's book in one or two sittings and still obtain what you need because it's succinct, quick, and to the point. Your review does a great job of capturing the spirit of the book. Congrats!

A dystopian world that is run by AI that controls every aspect of life, from how you conduct yourself to dictating what you eat sounds horrifying. I am curious to see how the author imagines this world. The subject matter is quite interesting as well as relevant in today's world so congratulations on BOTD.

I have no interest in this book, it's not a kind of storyline I enjoy. However, this is a great review.

I'm not an ardent lover of fictional books, so, I didn't fully connect to this story. However, the plot seems engaging. Lovers of this genre would find it fascinating. Congrats on BOTD.

I think I like the author's plot pacing and the fact that he can make the book entertaining. However, I might pass on these dark themes portrayed in it.

I haven't read books with stories set in dystopian world. Plus a story that is dark themed, yet entertaining sounds thrilling, which makes the reader to grab a copy ASAP. The AI concept is quite innovative..... I will give the book a try
