In the Lives of Puppets

A struggle to balance a lot of plot and a lot of thought. I love Klune's endearing character work, with relatable rep, especially asexuality. Loved the themes examining free will, creativity, memory, guilt: role of love, (the heart) in each, and the interplay of robots and humans as mirrors for each other. Not quite what I wanted, and based on the Acknowledgements, maybe not quite the book the author wanted? 🤷🏼‍♂️
