This novel was fantastic and I loved especially the romance within it. The world that Nina Varela has created is absolutely created and I found it fascinating how she took real-life elements and put them in a fantasy story to discuss them there. I loved how the problem with the romance was not that it is a queer romance but rather that it is between an automae and a human. I did not connect to all the characters and would have liked the secondary characters to be a bit more flashed out. The writing was fantastic and I am definitely reading the sequel as soon as possible.
