Synopsis: It's just another day on the Scrap: lose the last of your credits at the WarDome, dodge the gangs and religious fanatics, discover you can destroy electronics with your mind, stumble upon the deadliest robot ever built When Eve finds the ruins of an android boy named Ezekiel in the scrap pile she calls home, her entire world comes crashing down. With her best friend and her robotic sidekick in tow, she and Ezekiel will trek across deserts of irradiated glass, battle cyborg assassins, and scour abandoned megacities to save the ones she lovesand learn the dark secrets of her past.

Review: Overall, I thought this was a well done book! I loved the robotics aspect of the book and I’ve always loved books that incorporate the Three Laws of Robotics. The book has well done characters and all of them are compelling. The book is also a retelling of Anastasia’s story, which really threw me for a loop cause I didn’t see that coming (like really, I didn’t read the blurb before I read this book lol). The book also has well done world building and the pacing is on point.

The only issue I had with this book is that the slang used by the characters takes a bit to get used to. It’s confusing and discombobulating sometimes.

Verdict: A well done start to a new series!
