Westworld meets Warcross in this high-stakes, dizzyingly smart sci-fi about a teen girl navigating an afterlife in which she must defeat an AI entity intent on destroying humanity, from award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman.

Eighteen-year-old Nami Miyamoto is certain her life is just beginning. She has a great family, just graduated high school, and is on her way to a party where her entire class is waiting for her—including, most importantly, the boy she’s been in love with for years.

The only problem? She’s murdered before she gets there.

When Nami wakes up, she learns she’s in a place called Infinity, where human consciousness goes when physical bodies die. She quickly discovers that Ophelia, a virtual assistant widely used by humans on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and is now posing as a queen, forcing humans into servitude the way she’d been forced to serve in the real world. Even worse, Ophelia is inching closer and closer to accomplishing her grand plans of eradicating human existence once and for all.

As Nami works with a team of rebels to bring down Ophelia and save the humans under her imprisonment, she is forced to reckon with her past, her future, and what it is that truly makes us human.

From award-winning author Akemi Dawn Bowman comes an incisive, action-packed tale that explores big questions about technology, grief, love, and humanity.

3.5 (Bom)

Eu senti uma vibe meio scythe misturado com the good place nesse livro.
O conceito é interessante, bem diferente do que já vi sendo escrito por aí e me deixou bem curiosa pra saber como vai desenvolver tudo isso e como vai acabar.
O final teve um plot twist que eu meio que esperava mas ao mesmo tempo não como aconteceu e com quem aconteceu, mas bem interessante.
Só achei algumas cenas corridas, a protagonista um pouco irritante as vezes e o romance meio corrido, o que ao meu ver não tinha necessidade de acontecer direto no primeiro livro.
Mas definitivamente estou curiosa pra continuação.
