The world building was fantastic, I could really imagine it.
Robin was an absolutely amazing character, I loved seeing his personality develop.
I will admit that Laura was not quite my favourite FMC, but the story/world/Ronin was so good that it didn't matter.

- The world building
- The premise of robot and human
- Ronin, and all his sweetness
- The conclusion wrapping things up
- The exploration into bots being able to evolve into sentience
- Lara, and her temper of a 7 year old
- How slow the book got at times. It took me 6 days to complete this when I typically complete a book every other day
- Did I mention Lara?
There was a lot to love, and such a good premise, but when you dislike one of the main characters, it's very difficult to enjoy the book as a whole. Add on to that how slow the plot got over and over, at like 40% then preparing for the end at like 75%.

Despite the unpleasant characteristics posed by Lara's character, I was determined to uncover more about Ronin's story, which ultimately kept me engrossed in the book.
Ronin's character was the highlight of the story for me! The way he was portrayed and developed throughout was so captivating that I found myself completely immersed in his journey. Although the romance element was present in the story, I couldn't help but feel that it took away from Ronin's character, who was strong and interesting enough to carry the plot on his own.
