![]() ![]() ![]() Might I also add, that contrary to popular opinion, this was my favourite book in the series, even though it was nothing short of a tome at six hundred plus pages. The balance of Four Londons is clearly at stake in this one, after the black power rises so to say. I was so taken in by the earlier two books that I had to read this one soon after I had finished the second one. Title: A Conjuring of Light: A Novel (Shades of Magic)Īnd now to the last book in the Shades of Magic trilogy by V.E. ![]() Read it for sure! Get the second part as well. The plot is tight and the conclusion doesn’t disappoint at all. I found myself laughing in so many places and yet the pace of excitement never dies. The novella is also funny by the way, more so because of what Murderbot thinks and never says out loud. It doesn’t read as science fiction and it so does that you are confused what you are reading at some point, which to me is a great quality to have in a writer.

It also refers to itself as Murderbot (now you get the link?). It hates humans and all it longs for is to be left alone. SecUnit is a part of the unit that is conducting these tests. These androids belong to the Company and on a planet which is quite distant from ours, a team of scientists are conducting tests. The world is being run by corporates and everything needs to be approved by The Company. Our protagonist is SecUnit, an AI robot who is not only shy but also quite self-aware. Can a droid have emotions? Can robots think for themselves and be empathetic? Is that even possible? Martha Wells asks these questions in her first episode of The Murderbot Diaries (I love the name of the series by the way) and makes you think as a reader if something like this could be remotely possible in the near-future. ![]() It is a space-thriller, a science-opera like nothing else you would have read before. “All Systems Red” is such a brilliant novella that I wished it never ended, but it did and I was only too happy knowing there is a sequel which I can get to later.
