Characters were okay, they felt relatable with their worries.

I loved all that action, this was pretty thrilling to read & I wanted to see what was going to happen next.

Of Monsters and Mainframes | Barbara Truelove

I had no idea what this book would be when I picked it up but it turned out to be everything I wanted.
When it comes to genre distribution I think it's an even split between sci-fi and horror with a sprinkle of fantasy. I adore the writing, how the multiple POVs and time jumps were expressed via the formatting, the sci fi twists on classic horror/adventure figures, the banter, the occasional dark humour, the emotional heart, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? the strong characterization and unique perspective of both ship minds/AIs and other beings, the burgeoning relationships, the rocky road to found family.
Definitely high stakes and trauma, strong themes of individuals getting their power back, of 'monsters' reconciled to their own nature, their own motivations, seen as more than something to be feared, which does not stop the Bad Guy from being truly loathsome.
5h
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 There are aspects of this book that remind me of Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series, but it does earn its dark and gory horror tag, so be warned. 5h

My first December #Roll100 pick finished, #26 Any Backlist . I have been slowly working my way through T.Kingfisher‘s backlist the last couple of years, liking both her brand of creepy horror & retellings. This one was a bit of a slow burn for me but I enjoyed it. It was more creepy than scary & left some questions unanswered at the end but I enjoyed it. How can you not like a setting that‘s a museum/curiosity shop in a small town? 😱

Filled with references from standard classics in the illustrations, this seems very nostalgic and may be a great gift for someone who loves the classic. It was published in 2016 and it had escaped my notice this whole time.

The coziest book, but with a touch of sharpness too.
