Initial Thoughts: I understood the hype as soon as I heard the first line. Sign me up for the whole series please.
So, it's been like 5 days since I finished this and I'm just about to start Book #4. This is especially remarkable because I'm borrowing the audiobooks from the library. AKA, my house is about to be clean af because it's the only thing I feel justified doing while listening to audiobooks (and simultaneously trying not to ignore the kids and their needs).
I'm not going to lie, I'm just now starting to accept the fact that I do, in fact, 100% enjoy Sci-Fi. For so long I just assumed Sci-Fi was Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings or just about anything with a sword, which I can't even pretend to hold interest in (unless it's like a zombie apocalypse thing, of course). Regardless, I was still super cautious to begin this series because a book about robots doesn't even sound appealing.
Thankfully, I was completely wrong because holy crap.. This sarcastic, anti-social, "oh my god why are they making eye contact with me.. again?!" robot is the best. I can already tell that I am going to be completely lost when I finish this series. My only complaint is that they are novellas, and I need more. ASAP.
