Fall of the Robots is the second book in a duology written by Lee Bacon. You don’t need to read the first book to enjoy this story. Enough back history is provided to help new readers understand what is going on.
I thought Fall of the Robots was a fun and action packed story that also presented many interesting philosophical ideas. It’s a story that the whole family can enjoy together.
Thank you NetGalley for sharing this digital book with me in exchange for an honest review.

Fall of the Robots is an engaging and fun book. It kept my interest all the way through with sufficient surprises and character development and challenges to overcome.

As a young adult novel, it's a clean read with minimal non gratuitous violence and no foul language or adult situations. It has real peril for some characters and serious philosophical questions that it raises so don't think it's a children's book.

I give it five stars for being a fun and interesting book. I really appreciate the humanity of some of the robots and the inhumanity of some of the humans. Truly it is our actions more than our biology that makes us inhumane or humane or moral vs immoral.

I want to thank Netgalley for an advanced ARC of the audiobook of this book.

The Fall of the Robots is the second book in a duology & this is a lovely series for children this is a really great read with a wholesome story, with a child who has shown what it means to be human but the robot seeing things a new opening to a new world coming with a friendship that is lovely to see

This is definitely one of the best children's books coming out this year. Although I didn't read the first book the story was still easy to follow along. The characters were funny and relatable and just overall very likeable. The pacing was good and the narrative/ overall story were fun and enticing. The thing I enjoyed the most were the villains. Unlike most villains (especially in children's books) these felt like actual humans, with motivations and relationships, they were not people who are evil for no apparent reason. Regarding the narration, although I felt it was a bit slow for me, I think I'd be perfect for a kid. The narrative being robotic and unexpressive was perfect for this story and beautifully portrayed the character who's perspective we were experiencing.

This book came out of nowhere for me and I loved every minute of it. I was able to get the audiobook from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review and I am thrilled to report, this book was exactly what I needed right now.

I didn’t realize it was the second book in the series, but no worries, you don’t need it in order to follow the story. I will be going back and finding book 1 but for now, I want to sell you on all the reasons this book was a great listen.

We meet Emma and XR who have joined together to help humans come out of the underground bunkers and work together with robots on the surface of the world again. However, there is still dissonance as a group of Machine Breakers want to end all Robots for what they did to humans.

Emma, XR, and their friends have to join together, with a little bit of possible romance along the way, which the robots interpret as an upset stomach, and lots of humor. I think the narration from the perspective of XR is my favorite because we get the misinterpretations of emotions and the way he processes things in seconds and milliseconds as though these delays are something we (as human readers) would be able to process in real life. I had such a great time with this book and I cannot wait for more. I am also excited that it’s been optioned as a possible up-coming movie. I think it will translate fantastically.
