Rachel (TheShadesofOrange)'s Reviews > Service Model

4.0 Stars
The premise of this novella is so cliche yet in this author's hands, the execution felt fresh.

I have read/watched so many murderous robots so many times but this hit differently. This one has very little action but instead follows the slow investigation.

The robot at the center of the story is technically emotionless which makes for a flat presentation. I felt it fit the narrative so I was more forgiving of this aspect than usual. I previously have said that I don't find this author to be exceptional at writing characters so I didn't expect to find a complex protagonist here. Instead I read this for the quirky narrative that is explored in this futuristic world.

If you love stories exploring worlds with artificial intelligence then I would recommend this one.
