Two disappointing books in a row. What are the odds? This was a novella I received for free so it's not much of a loss except for my time.Erin K. Wagner's "An Unnatural Life" is a typical 'robot commits a crime and an idealistic lawyer defends them' story. There are some new facets - the robots are all considered sentient and humans are bigoted against them.
The issue is the story ends abruptly. Yes it's a novella but even a short novella needs a proper ending. If this was part one of a series that would make sense but it's not. It felt like the author either lost interest or got distracted and threw on a crappy ending. Very disappointing.
I gave this book three stars out of five on Goodreads. It needed more. The new facets were a jump off point with lots of potential that was tossed in the trash.
