» liked «
- the concept of AI/androids becoming deviant/gaining sentience
- the romance and how it was developed

» disliked «
- lack of a larger, more impactful plot (especially since the romance was short)

» overall «
better than volume 4 was, since there was more of a connection between Nick and Charlie in this one. maybe i just the like beginning of romances more.

in most books, the romance that occurs in them helps keep me engaged in the story and the characters. this book, despite being primarily a romance, doesn't do that.

» PLOT «
Pongo and Missis had a lovely life. With their human owners, the Dearlys, to look after them, they lived in a comfortable home in London with their 15 adorable Dalmatian puppies, loved and admired by all. Especially the Dearlys' neighbor Cruella de Vil, a fur-fancying fashion plate with designs on the Dalmatians' spotted coats! So, when the puppies are stolen from the Dearly home, and even Scotland Yard is unable to find them, Pongo and Missis know they must take matters into their own paws! The delightful children's classic adapted twice for popular Disney productions.

» PLOT «
When Chris joins the staff at her local record store, she’s surprised to find out that her co-workers share a secret: they’re all members of a secret fight club that take on the patriarchy and fight crime!

the art style was very beautiful, but the plot was lackluster. it was underdeveloped and just needed more details.

» READABILITY «
fast read

» CHARACTERS «
the characters honestly all just blended together, and the fact that they all pretty much got along made their relationships boring.

» WRITING «
the writing was alright, there just needed to be more. I, however, did like the inner dialogue though.

» OVERALL «
had potential, just needs more
