LIFEL1K3 Lifelike Jay Kristoff Books

LifeL1K3 is set in the future in a post-apocalyptic United States. Robots in the form of automatas, machinas, and logikas are governed by three laws, the laws of robotics, and are considered no more than slaves. Lifelikes are androids that seem human in every single way except that they have found a way to ignore the three laws making them extremely dangerous and subsequently illegal. The story starts off with a heart-gripping prologue and transitions from current day events to past transitions for a few chapters as the story of how dangerous Lifelikes can be is shown in graphic detail.

I did love that the main protagonist, Eve, was a scrappy chica with a heart of gold for her grandfather and those that she cared for. I adored the relationship between Eve and her bestie Lemon, they were a sisterhood unto themselves and I loved it. They had great banter and even though the slang wasn’t my favorite part, they had a way about them that was unique and original. Wow on the robotic characters as well. They were amazingly done and how the story played out with the rules and roles, just wow!

There is a lot to love in this story with its action, adventure, robotics, cyborgs, and even a kraken too! I will admit that I found myself being slightly disappointed with some of the obvious twists that occurred because I saw them coming from a mile away but I kept reading to just make sure I was right. The romance was cute and had its swoony moments for sure but it was not the main focus of the story. I did like that with each twist the story became darker and darker, that really amped up the twists that kept occurring until the end.

To me, LifeL1k3 is about love, oppression, freedom, and choices. It is also about what does it mean to be free and what determines those who deserve freedom, especially freedom of choice. There was so much to enjoy in this story! The ending though, I am still hurting from the ending. Even though I did not like it at all, it was the right ending because it was honest. I loved it and I hated it in equal measure. Overall, if you like spunky young adult characters with hilarious robotic sidekicks and don’t mind a little heart ripping, then I definitely recommend LifeL1k3 to you!

LIFEL1K3 Lifelike Jay Kristoff Books Reviews

WHAT AN ENDING!!! I need book 2 like yesterday. I bow down to this man because if there is one thing he does great it's that he writes and engaging story from start to finish. He also writes the most jaw dropping cliffhangars. Lifelik3 was everything I expected and more from Jay and proves without a doubt why he is one of my favorite authors.

Lifelik3 is such a fast paced story that kept me totally engaged from the first page. The plot was so tight and never strayed off course and even threw in some of the most fantastic twists I never saw coming. What made this story incredibly special was the cast of characters. Eve is a wonderful main character but it's the side characters that really made this story pop for me. Lemon and Cricket are truly special and add a balanced sense of humor to a intense scene which was amazing.

The world building was great as well. It is pretty much set in a post apocalyptic world now full of androids and cyborgs. It's definitely a Rise of the Machines ordeal and I'm so here for it.

The one thing I really didn't like was the romance it would have been a lot worse were it not for it being worked into the plot. But I knew this going into this story since Jay himself said it was like Romeo and Juliet meets Mad Max. So just know that when going into this story.

All in all Lifelik3 was an amazing first book to Jay's new trilogy and I am so so excited to read book 2 when it is finally released next year!!
This book really packs a punch! I knew that it would! I have loved all of Jay Kristoff's other books that I have read and when he described it as being "Romeo and Juliet meets Bladerunner, while Fury Road plays a guitar solo in the background" I knew that I had to read it. I think that Lifelike may be my favorite book of his thus far. It was action-packed but didn't skimp on the emotional punch either!
I know that the description may make it sound like there is too much going on but I promise that is not the case. Some may be turned off by the Romeo and Juliet reference but it doesn't play into that side of things as much as one might think. I know because I am tired of those kinds of stories because I feel that they have been played out. Eve and Ezekiel are each very strong characters in their own right. They are trying to figure out where they fit in the world and/or how the world could be changed to fit them. Everything begins to go haywire once they meet and the fast pace doesn't let up throughout the book. I enjoyed all of the characters. I found that they each had a purpose in the plot of the book and each had some kind of background to them that was revealed. I appreciated this because it could get messy to flesh out so many characters but Jay Kristoff found a way to organically do it so that the book was fluid and packed with description. I love the world that the author created. It was very different and I'll admit that the slang tripped me up a bit. I did find the language a little annoying at times but you get used to it and everything else in the book more than makes up or it!
There were some things that happened that I had guessed would take place but others that I found a little confusing. I think that everything will be explained in book 2. I have a feeling that things are about to get bonkers!
