Book Review: Sparked by Sheena Spaleny





Sparked by Sheena Spaleny
YA Light Sci-Fi
Date Published: December 16, 2016

Book Description:
They weren’t supposed to have feelings.

Metal will Clash

In a not-too-distance future, robots composed of metal for bones, electric cords for veins, and synthetics for skin are now available. For purchase. Eighteen-year-old Vienna Avery’s home is going to change forever, now that her mom purchased an Italian Chef Robot to cook and reside in their house.

Secrets will Unfold

The government claimed robots were indifferent, unthinking pieces of metal and elastic—assistance for the help of humans. Vienna never believed much of what the government said. The pieces didn’t always fit. And now Vienna knows why, because she’s uncovered the government’s secret: that robots have emotions, sucking Vienna into the underground world of feeling, thinking, and sovereign robots.

Sparks will Fly

Alec Cypher is everything a robot is not supposed to be: deep, dark, and dangerously human. And for some reason, he wants to save Vienna from the government’s prying, vindictive eyes. Going forward, Vienna will have to learn to trust robots and battle the growing feelings she never thought possible . . . feelings for the green-eyed, soul-searching robot named Alec.

My thoughts:
I thought I would love reading about robots that were almost human but that's not what happened. Vienna almost ruined it for me because she was a bit whiny and very anti robot in the beginning even though I guess that was the point of her being chased. My favorite characters were the robots in Alecs unit especially Bonnie. I would have liked to read more about them and what their life before Vienna was like. There is a lot I feel wasn't explained but overall I liked it and would give it 3.5 stars.

I received a free review copy.
