This was too long for the audience, I think. It should have been about half the length and it would have been fine. I actually thought the illustrations were maybe the best part. I’d love to see this sort of book with mostly illustrations. (I think they maybe were about half the book already!)

I liked the characters a lot though I actually agree with one of the other ancillary characters in that I wonder why they even want to make human food. I would definitely read more in this universe, a sequel, for instance.

Wow. This was fantastic! It felt disjointed and episodic at first, but things really came together about halfway through, and there was a ton of payoff at the end. I like books that make me think in different ways about about big ideas and concepts that I already think a lot about, and this did that for AI and several fantasy tropes. Either of those would have been interesting by themselves, but both in one book? Mind-blowing! In short, I really enjoyed this, and will be looking for more by this author in the future.
