Tanith Lee is a word wizard and I hope to read much more of her work in the future. I look forward to reading the second one, as soon as it arrives in the mail.

I truly had no idea what to expect going into this book. It showcases the way love can help you become the best version of yourself, and how it can bring out the worst in others, too. This is a story about love in all it's forms. I do have to say, for a while there I thought there was going to be a twist where it is revealed that (view spoiler) but alas, that was not to be. I even hid in the change rooms at work so I could read the final few chapters, in tears. It took a while to get going, for me, but about a hundred pages in everything started to click and I couldn't put it down. But Jane's naivete and willingness to forgive even the most horrible of trespasses, is actually pretty awe inspiring. They are a horrid group of people and they deserve nothing short of the fires of hell for eternity. Her friends and family are all selfish assholes and giant pieces of shit. But as she falls further and further in love and learns to live her own life away from the constraints of her family and so-called friends, she really blossoms and becomes a better person.

The start of this story is terribly melancholy and Jane is not likable in the slightest. Jane's progression as the story develops is particularly well done. He has some amazing, swoon worthy lines. This story is told through the eyes of Jane, so we see Silver purely through her eyes and experience him through her, and what an experience it is. He has been designed to be better than human in every way and is so lifelike that Jane never sees him as anything other than a human man, except when she is at her most vicious. This is the story of Jane, a sixteen year old sheltered, pampered and wishy-washy young woman, who falls in love with a robot called Silver. And then worry about the sploosh tarnishing the robot's gears and machinery. He has been designed to be better than human in every way and is so lifelike that Jane never sees him as anything other than a human man, except when she is "Mother, I am in love with a robot."Įxcuse me while I sploosh everywhere. "Mother, I am in love with a robot." Excuse me while I sploosh everywhere. Or is it something more? Has Jane glimpsed in Silver something no one else has dared to see-not even the robot or his creators? A love so perfect it must be destroyed, for no human could ever compete?. So she escapes into the city's violent, decaying slums to embrace a love bordering on madness. And she will give up everything to prove it. Jane is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to please. Until Jane's life is changed forever by a chance encounter with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin, whose songs ignite in her a desperate and inexplicable passion. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster. In this unforgettably poignant novel, Lee has created a classic tale-a beautiful, tragic, erotic, and ultimately triumphant love story of the future.įor sixteen-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of ever mastering.
