The first chapter of this fully sold me, then unfortunately the rest of the book couldn’t live up to it. The premise was solid and intriguing, Bioshock meets art deco and robots! But then the plot that followed was very cliche and derivative of many other plots. These twists have been done before, only better. Wasn’t invested in any characters really either.
