The Android and the Thief by Wendy Rathbone
4.0
We find Trev who has always lived through the orders of his father, making him the best thief and with Khim an android that is programmed for war but that when losing his hand is sold to a brothel. certain events mean that both end up in jail and sharing a cell, which leads them to form an alliance to survive that later becomes something deeper.
I really liked the way in which the relationship develops, as little by little the trust that leads them to friendship and then to fall in love is built. The way in which Khim reacts to physical contact reflects well what victims of rape suffer, as they have a constant struggle of what they want but still do not feel physically or emotionally prepared to do so. The characters know how to handle their strengths and weaknesses well. Each one is strong in their own way and they know how to make a good team to face the difficulties that are presented to them.What I needed was to know the reaction of Dante at the end and what happened with Breq, and to develop more the end. I feel that the end was very fast I leave several loose ends. I really recommend it.
