The setting and concept of this book are very interesting. I adore the idea of robots gone wild and humans learning from them. (Wild Robot did it better ngl)The main character is someone struggling with identity. She comes so close to accepting the image of God, to accepting Kingdom values, yet is deterred by the robot who tries to teach nihilism as hopecore.We see the main character go through rebellion, arrogance, sexual immorality, and more; and when she looks back she finds solace in family, healthy father figures, home, rest, purpose (that being loving outwardly). Yet what does Mosscap say? “You have no purpose”. That is supposed to bring peace???The writing is pretty and poetic at times, and other times the metaphors and prose make no sense. The build up feels rushed or non-existent sometimes. In reality, this feels like it was written to mainly be an expression of an idea. Which I hate. The message is pushed over the story, and not through it. I had a lot of hope and even sat through being confused at the mc’s pronouns for the whole book. I was sadly disappointed.
