Trinh, Charris, and Ursa have been up to their eyeballs in danger and adventure. Now that they've saved the town they're due for a little rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, a lot of the residents blame the team for the destruction of their homes and shops, even though they helped save it. But on the plus side, there are a few residents excited to meet the girls and Ursa gets to meet the father she didn't know she had.
There's a lot of excellent character development for Ursa and Charris in this volume, a lot of secrets are starting to come to light, and Trinh meets someone special. Overall, this is a solid story that I enjoyed. It was slow in parts with big bursts of excitement and action. I felt like the pacing was a little strange sometimes, but new information, character development, and action were well-balanced. I found a few things confusing, probably because it had been a couple of months since I read the other volumes.
The best part of the volume, though, was the end. The end was excellent and has me anxious to read more of the issues!
Overall, I enjoyed "Rise of the Machines" even though I did find a few pragmatic points.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I appreciate that this series can be rather dark and high action, but they always take these sweet moments to slow down and humanize the characters. To give you a respite of friendship, camaraderie, found family, chosen family, and so many other gentle moments.
