Days after finishing Goddess in the Machine I have no words for how fantastic it is. Not only is there absolutely fantastic world building, I loved the main characters. The story is told from dual POV which not only helps the readers get to know the world or Erensed, but also to witness the differences in perspectives. Can you imagine waking up from your sleep one day to find a thousand years had passed and the world you woke up to is utterly alien?

Why did I love Goddess in the Machine so much? First and foremost, it's got to be the unique world building and the amount of twists and turns in the plot. To me, both of these characteristics are sure to win my approval and love. Andra is a biracial fat MC who not only has to be quick on her feet, but also examine her own past of privilege, but also the ethics of technology. All while Zhade has all these layers of motivations, past grievances, and mystery.
