Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

2.5 stars, rounded up.

Nguyen has created an interesting sci-fi world in which androids are a part of our everyday lives but not necessarily welcomed. In flashbacks from Park’s past, we are given pieces of information surrounding wars, riots, and Park’s relationships with androids. This does, however, cause the pacing of the story to suffer. These chapters feel drawn out, and border on info-dumping and boring.
I wanted to enjoy this book. Sci-Fi Thrillers are one of the niche genres I love dearly. But by the time we got to the grand reveal at the end, I was bored. The information felt force-fed to me, and it took away from my ability to truly enjoy this story. The pieces of a wonderful book are all there, however, the execution could perhaps use some more work.

Full review will be published on June 14th, 2021.
