“An enchanting tale of Pinocchio in the end times.” ―P. Djèlí Clark
In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots―fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, hidden and safe.
The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labelled “HAP,” he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio–a past spent hunting humans.
When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.
Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached?
Inspired by Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, and like Swiss Family Robinson meets Wall-E, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful stand-alone fantasy adventure from the beloved author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
★ “An epic quest of rescue and discovery [with] the author’s trademark charm, heart, and bittersweetness.” ―Library Journal, starred review

读过 In the Lives of Puppets 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
很有意思的设定,嘴上说是 retelling of Pinocchio(也确实有很多 Pinocchio的影子尤其是马戏团那段),但我听的时候一直在绿野仙踪和弗兰肯斯坦之间反复横跳然后还觉得自己很有道理,总的来说写得太拖了,搞笑的部分比较多但是属于喜欢的人会觉得有意思不喜欢的人 get不到那种,比如Nurse是真的很戳我笑点,但是Rambo,我知道你是个小可爱,可我真的很难笑.…总的来说是一个比较典型的ace+found family的故事,但是多少也有点aro vibe(可是大多数主要角色是机器人啊你醒醒)有关vic和HAP的感情处理其实还挺讨我喜欢的,中间一段是真的有点拖
