The western/Mad Max vibe was fun, but the robots just feel... too human? like i straight up kept forgetting the main character (and every other character) was a robot. maybe I'm just spoiled by murderbot but like, there's ways to make robots relatable/emotional/fallible/etc without making them feel "basically human." i mean where's the CREATIVITY!!!
(also utterly baffled by the "voice pitch = gender" choice. Those Are Robots. why would it work like that. how would that work for anyone whose pronouns arent he or she)

Graphic: Death, Genocide, Gun violence, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Child death, Gore, Sexual content, and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Ableism
The "cannibalism" content warnings from other users are a bit misleading; there is no what you're likely to think of as "actual" cannibalism in the book. There is, however, a lot of robots killing each other to use the other's parts, which the characters refer to as cannibalism once or twice.norwegianforestreader's review
