    very repetitive in scenes and dialogue as well as words used. the characters are interesting but i would have liked to get to know them better. they were regularly in the same situations and having the exact same conversations and making the same jokes over and over. it got a little more exciting in the last quarter, but by that point it felt a little too late.

    unfortunately, i don’t think abercrombie is for me! after i finished i searched the words murmur and mutter (and their variations) and murmur was used 125 times and mutter was used 143 times. that doesn’t really matter, but it was so grating to me that i had to share.

    robots as main characters don’t typically work for me and that remains true here. i found the concept interesting, but the characters are quite one dimensional and the conflict is too easily solved. aggressively okay
