Description
You do not need to have read The Warm Machine to enjoy this book... It functions as a standalone as well!
After a life of subservience wrought with extensive memory wipes, personal autonomous android model NX makes the fateful decision to slip from the mid-upper reaches of the city. In the dilapidated lower levels, she meets a talented but disillusioned cyborg named Sylvan who extends to her a temporary place working in his shop. As they sew the bonds of friendship and regain Sylvan’s lost passion, NX hones her own unique talents: for optimism, for charm, and for creating. With a little help from some friends – and a bit of luck – NX evades the forces that intend to recapture her or destroy her. The lower levels are easy to get lost in, but can she hide forever?

Advance Praise
"How is a book about robots and cyborgs *so* relatable?" - Tory Keith - Author
"The friendship they had was so sweet... Makes my heart ache..." - Jordan S, beta reader
"It just felt 'nice' to read." - Steve H, beta reader
"My favorite was... that machines are more than expendable." - Pup&, beta reader
"Charmingly bittersweet, every scene felt like stitching up a hole in your favorite blanket. A beautiful snapshot of the never shown side of sci-fi." - Powerlineangel, beta reader
"Finished reading and had to jump on and immediately leave a review. Inix’s story is a so very different from the adventure of Sterling and Zev, but introduces us to an avalanche of worldbuilding that absolutely makes it a must read. I’m just as intrigued by the cyborgs as I am the bots. Sylvan is wonderful, so good at helping Inix to become something more. And I’m in love with Feint, small as her on-page part is. With this second outing in the world, I’ve gone from enjoying the story to very much looking forward to anything else that might be in the future offering." - J. Lynne
"After reading the Warm Machine, I, of course, wanted more Inix, and the Lucky Machine does not disappoint! She was such a fun POV to read because of her general personality and I loved being along for the ride as she became more and more herself and more into creating and selling clothes. After reading the Warm Machine, I was always a little tense, waiting for the inevitable link up between the two stories.
Delightfully cozy with a fun robot pov learning how to be herself. Definitely recommend if you want something a little more low key and personal!" - blackbirds
"A lovely followup to The Warm Machine, this one focuses on Inix, a side character from that story, and tells her tale. Where the first book is all about the bots, this one covers a lot of bot/human interaction and also a bit more worldbuilding on the society. A very nice addition to the bot universe, full of wholesome relationships and lots of pattern-making!" - William Tracy
