Lovely review lolo. I sometimes struggle with the middle parts of the stories as I start with the beginning and then the end first,... and then the middle gets neglected. Ngl the moment I saw this contest was the moment I conceptualised it in my head, so the characterisation was kinda safe. Again, thank you for the detailed review. You hit the nail on the head when it came to themes. Though, revolutionary worldbuilding it did not make fs. Ngl, I had this idea midway through where Caden would actually be a former robot-of-war who once was someone who despised humanity due to his pre-conceived notions and justified lore stuff. Forced to work in servitude or sm shit, or maybe earn a living now he is free of prison. It tied into the bird tidbit. But tldr it would have made their chemistry much spicier, and the romance more of a focus. Think Dvattra. But by then it'd be too late. Maybe in another novel, hah.
