Crier's War

my god am i glad that i have the sequel sitting on my shelf otherwise i would be SO angsty right now

what a beautiful book, not only in the prose and the gentle and sweet romance, but in the politics and rules of automae. i, robot has been a staple work of literature in my life but i'm loving that books these days are going back to exploring what it means to have created robotic life, their rights, and all the ways it can all go wrong.

pacing was lovely, i felt that there was a really good balance between plot progression and the exploration of the f/f romance. lots of twists at the end that make me eager to throw away my TBR for the sequel, but i want to stew in the greatness of crier's war before jumping into iron heart.
