I received an advance review copy for free from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was a pretty fascinating and fast-paced story. It got me hooked from the first page. Although, I would say the characters are not explored enough. However, I believe it is important to highlight the theme that brought into the spotlight. AI and particularly being used as a replacement of real human interaction is absolutely scary in so many levels, and even though the big problem in this story was also because of human error, the fact that the people who created this were missing through it all it is a reflection of the reality. 

Coming back to the story, I think this needed a bit more towards the end, a sort of epilogue a time later to tight up the story better. 

The art was gorgeous, and the style too.
