vN (by Madeline Ashby)

Trying to sum up the premise of this book feels impossible (a longer review by Charlie Jane Anders is here) but my best try: a sentient humanoid robot child eats her evil robot granny, grows up overnight, and goes on the run.

The world-building here is fascinating and dark. (Like, human-on-robot pedophilia dark.) I enjoyed the characters, particularly protagonist Amy and her (human) father.

The storyline is sometimes a bit confusing (for example, at one point there is a prison escape but it kind of cuts from Amy trying to escape to a scene where nobody's chasing her, and it's confusing how she got from point A to point B). But the worldbuilding and overall story makes up for it.

I'm intrigued enough to give the second book in the series a shot. Hopefully we get to find out more about what happens after the (also somewhat confusing) ending.
