My favorite thing about TJ Klune books is the heart and the love and the joyously quirky characters in them. And this book...just didn't give me that. Maybe it's because most of the characters were robots, several of which spoke in some variant of a robot patois that I got a bit exhausted with. But this just didn't melt my heart the way Klune's previous books did. I was bummed that this was such a slog for me.
