    5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Read

    I admit my life is in the USA, Thailand, and Vietnam, all being countries of this book, so perhaps I was biased. Still I found it an enthralling read: excellent story (long but not overly) paced well, good characters who often had their own demons. I look forward to reading the authors other works.

    How would the world look if we could create a new form of life? Independent and self aware? Brave new world.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A notably bizarre read that was difficult to connect with in any significant way
    Reviewed in France on 19 March 2021

    I'll admit that the 'scifi cyberpunk' (or is it 'metafiction' or 'weird fiction'?) sub-genre is not my thing and I didn't relate to 'LoV' nor - to be blunt - really enjoy it, despite the rating here. It was in too many ways quite depressing and dark and even bordered on horror for me. And really in terms of characterizations, everyone just struck me as either being an utter bastard or just pathetic in more ways than I care to describe. The book is not poorly written, please do not misunderstand, even if ultimately the construction didn't pull me in. I do wish the author had spent more time looking at the (side-)consequences of what develops up to nearly the end- including what seems wound up being the harvesting of LoVs from living (?) children - and not just hinting at same in passing. This was why in large part I found the ending particularly unsatisfying as we're left with no real outcome for any of the players, human or otherwise. Quite clearly, what is happening would only result in massive global upheaval and even war, not only at an economic level but most likely in very literal terms. But that just gets pushed away as we're then left with our 'cameras' focused on other scenes. In the end, I just have to shrug and say the book was affordable and readable, so we tried.

    An interesting read that touches on many of today's issues.

    Oh sure, let's invent a little, barely sen, widget that helps us in almost everything we do. What could possibly go wrong? Well, how about we start with murder? Then we can explore corporate greed and immorality. But oh wait, let's also think about slavery, in it's many different forms. Toss in at the odd human or three and you've got a book!

    This is the first book by this author I have read and I intend to read more by her. It held my interest all the way through and the tech seemed plausible and not overdone.
