I really enjoyed this and the world it was set in. I like Ronin more than Lara, and I did find the writing a little predictable but still very enjoyable.

Things I liked:

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

Things I did not like:

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%.

I tried to like Lara, but

after she physically abused Ronin I couldn't stand her. Even if he was technically a "robot", he was a robot with feelings! She also hits her nurse who made sure she survived from her wounds.

Her life story was truly sad, but her actions were questionable.

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.

The way the story concluded completely shattered me emotionally, leaving me in a state of uncontrollable tears!

I just finished this book, and I'm crying. It was so good, even though it was a rollercoaster of emotions. Be warned that this is set in a dark, dystopian future where humans are struggling to survive. There are robots that look human with s3xual desires and violent tendencies. Content warnings for r@pe (happened to heroine in recent past), murder, child d3ath (side character's), violence, etc.

Even though it's somewhat of an instant attraction between the two characters (mainly on Ronin's side), the romance is a slow burn with love that grows over time.

Ronin is a bot that looks human and wants to find his purpose. I thought Ronin was written so well, and his personal musings felt both robotic and real.

Lara is a human living in squalor, been abused by Warlord (the worst bot ever), and wondering where her sister is.

This is a long, detailed book that was more gruesome than I expected, but I'm still glad I read it. The main thing that I question after reading it all is why Tabitha, Lara's sister, left her alone after Lara's attack by Warlord. I felt like it didn't make sense that this supposedly loving sister would abandon her.
