Made it halfway and I just didn’t care what was happening. The premise of automa vs. people was cool, but I wanted more of that. I may come back to this later.

Set 47 years after the Automae - created humanoid beings - revolted and overthrew the ruling humans to claim rule for themselves and subjugate the humans as slaves, 'Crier's War' tells the story of Crier, a young Automa who is heir to the throne, and Ayla, a human girl who is part of a fledgling rebel force trying to overthrow the harsh rule of the Automae. It is a story about betrayal, revolution, impossible decisions, and love. This is book one in a duology, and it definitely left me wanting more.
