I loved it. As a female reader, I appreciate both the emotional depth and the general badass vibe of Faith. I also enjoyed how the story considers both the technology and the philosophical side of AI and its implications.

I feel the ending was great. Had a nice mix of victory, defeat, despair, and hope as well as mystery. I look forward to reading the next one to find out what happens next and am glad I could in some small part, be a part of bringing this one into existence.

I really enjoyed the book. Think it is a very strong start to a trilogy or franchise.
The world building and backstory are very well done. Everything was explained very well and I felt that the whole story was very believable.
Faith is a total badass. Grace and Chip were really well done and Chip was one of my favorite parts of the book, hopefully we will see more development/awakening later on in the story.
As far as clarity goes I think everything was explained really well and while I do have a tendency to get lost in overly specific scientific detail I didn't have an issue with that at any point.
Along the lines of femininity I'm probably not the best judge but I have seen many female characters written by men and I didn't get that Ick feeling at all here lol.
I think the book progressed at a nice pace with a good mixture of action/backstory and drama. The POV switches were done well and not confusing at all.
Overall a very strong offering, not just for a first novel but compared to much of what I've read.
The ending was well done, resolving pretty much everything in the main plot while still leaving me wanting more.
Good job sir. i will follow along online for a launch and future offering.
