FAVOURITE BOOK SERIES OF ALL TIME-READ THREE TIMES!! EVERYONE READ NOW
Sometimes, when I rate a book 5 stars I say that I know the book is not five star quality, it is just five stars for me.This is not one of those books.Actually, if you didn’t rate this book 5 stars I would recommend you get a quality check.
This is my ALL TIME favourite book series. I was scared to read it a second time, because I was worried it would ruin the perfection that is this book. Spoiler alert: It didn’t.
I don’t even know how to describe how amazing this book is. It is enemies to lovers...but better. While the angst of most enemies to lovers is fun, it then makes the relationship that follows unbelievable. But this? This had the characters hating each other...but able to work together AND able to hold an actual conversation with each other without making fun of the other. And it has no sudden jumps from hate to love. It is so gradual and natural and I’ve never rooted for a couple more. And the guy falling first? Best. Trope. Ever.
Honestly, even without the romance, the two main characters are perfect and beyond well rounded. More similar to well spear-ded (totally a word)
Abel’s progress is unbelievable. We legit watch him...gain a soul. And be funnier than any character should be allowed to. His humour is so dry and perfect and I’m pretty sure everyone in the room while I read it thinks I’m insane. And when he talks about if his love is as true as a natural person...oh my heart. I think his love is MORE. He is more. He is perfect. I would totally travel across the universe with him and wouldn’t even ask him to die at the end... Oh gosh I could gush over the man of my dreams for hours. But if we do find a way to build robots...y’all know my order.
And Noemi, she is my hero. Her inner battles, I-I felt so seen. Her belief in God, but doubt in her ability to have faith-her thinking she is unlovable and selfish but really just lonely-her fight with what her planet believes vs. what she believes... it was so real. And I just LOVE that when she realises Abel has a soul her first reaction isn’t to be awestruck, or excited, but absolutely FUMING. She is perfect in her imperfections and I love her as much as Abel. Well, actually that is a complete lie Abel really is perfect, but I do love her.
And for a YA Sci-Fi this really makes you ask A LOT of questions about...everything. Can you manufacture a soul? Is it right to protect your planet when it harms people on others? What is the mid-point between condemning technology and suffering for it? *Mind exploding*
And above it all, this book has given me the best quote of all time. All time. *whispers eerily: alllll time*
“Noemi: (context of if Abel should become a prostitute)I can’t let you sell your body like that.
Abel: The transaction is more similar to a rental.”
Still laughing. Okay, who am I lying for? I’m full on snort-not-breath-ing over here.
I cannot stress enough how much I love this book. It is well-paced, has perfect characters, and asks questions that are a little scary to ask. It does something a little risky for a Sci-Fi to do, it has a plot that makes perfect logical sense. I’m head over heels in love with this book, for the second time. And it also does something different, it has good sequels! EEEEEE
