So, let's start this New Year 2023 thingy with a 5* review!
I bought Steel Guardian on recommendation from a friend, without even taking a look at what it was about. When I started it, I was expecting some sci-fi warfare, purely from the cover. Boy was I surprised to find something that's a bit like finding Baymax in a dystopian world! And oh how I loved it.
Robots have killed a lot of humans, and the world is broken, but not all are like that. No, there's also the harmless ones. Like our main character, who just wants to clean and do a good job. Which gets really hard when you suddenly find yourself in charge of a squalling tiny human infant.
I loved the contrast between trying to survive, and the slightly naive view. Wanting to trust everyone, but also fearing betrayal.
I'd it a perfect read? No, there is a few rough patches and the pace is a bit uneven at times. Did I enjoy the hell out of it? Absolutely! Can't wait to read more in this world!
A great way to start into 2023, and maybe greet out new AI overlords...
