4.5/5

You can tell the author put genuine effort into writing this book. The atmosphere of a place doomed to die and a robot following its own path creates a profoundly grim mood – yet it perfectly suits the book's reality. I'd add an extra half-star to the rating, but the website unfortunately doesn't allow it.

What I love is the naturalness that fits so seamlessly with how events unfold in the plot. The language used in the book was occasionally challenging to read, though I'll blame that on my own limited proficiency rather than the text itself.

The worldbuilding is remarkably rich, and the way it portrays the conflict between sides is fascinating. While the confrontation seems to lead to an obvious resolution, the epilogue proves things aren't as simple as they appear. I truly loved this book – thank you. Reading it was an absolute pleasure!
