I would recommend reading via audiobook. Large cast & interview style storytelling. Leads into sequel really well. I will continue with this series in audiobook format.

Likes: The interviewer. No name, all plans. Extra .25 stars for that character alone. 

Dislikes: Didn’t care much for the romantic aspects or the women’s body descriptions in a couple of scenes.

did we have to description the female robot that way?

TW: large scale events with significant loss of life, Bosnia massacre discussion, car accident.
