Of Monsters and Mainframes

What. A. Book!

I didn't know what to expect from this based on the description, but wow was I floored. Dracula from the perspective of the ship is what I was expecting, and I got that and so very much more!

I want to recommend Of Monsters and Mainframes to everyone I've ever met. From it's lovable cast of AI ships, classic monsters, and ethically questionable ship doctor-robots, to it's tightly plotted storyline, it consumed me for days! I don't read that quickly anymore, but every free moment I had was dedicated to reading this book.

It's also so fucking funny. Like, seriously. I kept laughing and then having to read passages to my husband, who also got more than a few chuckles out of it. The phrase “Fuck yeah, robot arm” has become a mainstay in our apartment.

I really just can't say enough great things about Of Monsters and Mainframes. The more I think about it, the more I realize how expertly plotted it is, and how wonderfully the plot is driven by the characters.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bindery Books/Ezeekat Press for the digital ARC. I can't wait to order a physical copy and read it all over again!
