The beginning chapters were slow but the pacing was good after that. I enjoyed the suspense of the novel and liked this take on AI. An interesting multilayered plot with well developed characters was enhanced by a full cast audiobook. I enjoyed it but it was dark and some of the back stories were tough. I'd reccommend checking the content warnings.
