By revealing small but crucial pieces of information in the least expected moments, the author is able to create an exquisite pace. Goddess in the Machine is an absolute ride and Lora Beth Johnson is a master of plot-twists. Oh, and she is also considered a goddess, isn’t that a lovely scenario for a person to wake up to? That is as far as we can read, because, undoubtedly, the withdrawals and rationed revelations of information are the stars of the novel.
No one would think that this is Lora Beth Johnson’s debut novel, but it is, and it is outstanding.Ī witty, refreshing take on the cryogenics trope on science fiction, Andra, the main character, wakes up a thousand years later than she was supposed to, just to find that her destination planet is on the brink of devastation.
The 100 meets Cinder-with a dash of Planet of the Apes -Goddess in the Machine will be the latest YA sci-fi hit and definitely one of the strongest releases of 2020. “They blame the planet for not wanting us, but what’s the planet going to do, marah? We’re the monsters, we’re the ones with the power to destroy.”
