I'm on the fence between two & three stars, but since it compelled me enough to desire reading the second... I guess it was more than just "okay." 
 The story itself was slow to actually start, with Lia doing little more than complaining about her circumstances and taking a really long time to actually get what has happened. But once she came to a conclusion (which happened practically at the end), it became really intriguing. The whole concept was what brought me to read it in the first place - the not-quite-dead deceased, the new mechanical body, a completely new life. What made it difficult is I'm still not sure how I feel about any of the characters, whether I trust them or hate them, but maybe that's reflective of life as well. Though I'm still not sure whose side I'm on.
