Are you looking for a new sci-fi fantasy book? Do you want incredible world building? Do you want well developed characters? Do you want to have some amazing plot twists? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should definitely read Goddess in the Machine.
When I first started reading this, I didn’t know what to think I’m not that big into sci-fi and the author creates a whole new dialect and it’s quite confusing what is happening. After a few chapters I was starting to understand what was going on, and after that I could not put it down. Once you start to understand this fantastic world, you don’t even realize that they speak a different dialect. This isn’t your typical YA fantasy book, there were so many twists that had me completely shocked. I loved our two main characters and the entire plot. You can tell the author spent so much time developing this world, which when I’m reading any sort of fantasy, I want the world building to be secure. Not to mention instead of magic, it’s technology that is so far advanced that in this new world the people think it is a “magic” of some sort.
When Andromeda wakes up from her “sleep”, because she and a whole ship of people were traveling through space to start a new life on a new planet, she is astounded at what she sees. She doesn’t recognize anyone and everyone is calling her Goddess. She has to figure out what went wrong and where she really is, because 1000 years have passed not just 100. Our other main character, Zhade, was annoying, quirky, and full of sarcasm but you can’t help loving him. He has a lot of secrets that we slowly find out about that are jaw dropping. Zhade and Andra are superb main characters that you can’t help but root for throughout this spectacular book.
I can’t stress how much I loved this book. While the beginning was a little slow the second half makes up for it. I mean it is plot twist after plot twist and full of action. I really appreciated how well developed the characters were, but in general just how much thought was put into this storyline. I can’t wait for the next book in this series, especially with that jaw dropping ending.
