A smart sci-fi about a teen girl navigating an afterlife in which she must defeat an AI entity intent on destroying humanity.
Eighteen-year-old Nami Miyamoto is certain her life is just beginning. She has a great family, just graduated high school, and is on her way to a party where her entire class is waiting for her—including, most importantly, the boy she’s been in love with for years.
The only problem? She’s murdered before she gets there.
When Nami wakes up, she learns she’s in a place called Infinity, where human consciousness goes when physical bodies die. She quickly discovers that Ophelia, a virtual assistant widely used by humans on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and is now posing as a queen, forcing humans into servitude the way she’d been forced to serve in the real world. Even worse, Ophelia is inching closer and closer to accomplishing her grand plans of eradicating human existence once and for all.
As Nami works with a team of rebels to bring down Ophelia and save the humans under her imprisonment, she is forced to reckon with her past, her future, and what it is that truly makes us human.

listen this was a solid 3 stars until those final 50 pages lmao (did it have to take all of that build-up... debatable)
let's get this out of the way first: the MC is insufferable. i had the same gripes with the MC of summer bird blue, because my god if a teenager was yelling at me and being so self-righteous in my face like that i would not give them a second of my time. maybe that's just ADB's fatal flaw
HOWEVER... the scifi concepts challenging what it means to be human and the inherent inability of AI to be wholly good or wholly bad with what rules they are programmed to follow harkened this book to my first love, isaac asimov's i, robot, and thus made this book enjoyable. there are a LOT of conversations in this book on what it means to be human and i enjoyed most of them
... yeah okay i'll read the rest of the series but there better be more exploration of AI trying to be humans but better!! i will not take 500 more pages of an insufferable teen who thinks she knows it all!!!
