A thousand blues by Cheon Seon-ran

I knew nothing of the book when I started, so I was slightly surprised when I realised it was sci-fi!  But surprised in a good way.   I like a good robot book, and I very much enjoyed this one.  The translation felt sound.  I liked the idea for the story, and I really liked the various different characters.  I found it very readable, and whilst the switches in time and view occasionally jarred, I felt like the story held together well.  The only thing I didn't like (really didn't like) was the ending for Coli (the ending for the sisters was great).  Not just because of what happened, but also because I didn't really understand why that was the chosen ending.  But still, I'd enjoyed the rest of the book so I let it go and have imagined myself a different outcome!
