(I received a free copy of this book, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).

I always find books about androids and A.I. to be quite interesting. It’s really intriguing to see how the characters view the androids and the different types of technology in the world.
One of the things I found quite interesting about this book was the way it began, with a bit about how the technology had gone wrong in an android. Although that raised more questions, I felt it was really good how the book did show the issues with the technology.
I did find I was left with some more questions by the end of the book, but it was only the first volume, so hopefully, those questions would get answered in the next book/s. I did like the use of technology in this book, particularly when Alex visits a forum. It was interesting how everything worked with that.
I also found some of the things about the androids quite interesting, such as the fact that they need to eat the same way humans do. I was surprised that there weren’t too many visible androids, though I suppose given how much they cost, keeping them hidden was fairly normal.
There were a lot of really nice pictures in this book. There was one in particular that was really effective, with sunlight shining through. I was really impressed by how well that picture came out. I also felt that the ‘dramatic pause’ was illustrated particularly well.
I think I’d definitely be interested in reading the next volumes in this series at some point in the future. This was an interesting storyline with a good introduction to the characters and I’d like to see more of them.
