4.28.2023 - In the Lives of Puppets

In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune

Many thanks to NetGalley, Tor Publishing Group, and Macmillan Audio for the privilege to escape into the newest TJ Klune world by gifting me both a digital and audio ARC.  The audiobook was amazingly narrated by Daniel Henning - 5 stars!

Gio leaves the City of Electric Dreams and finds a house in the woods where he starts his new life.  Gio becomes dad to Victor, the last human on the planet, as well as his companions Nurse Ratched and Rambo.  They find a robot in the junk yard, Hap, that Victor brings back alive.  When Gio is taken, the group go off to rescue him.

This book is reminiscent of PInocchio and I loved this book and these characters - plus the narration is just wonderful so you will feel like you know them (especially Rambo).  Everything has a touch of magic and humor, but at the heart of all TJ Klune's books is the sense of inclusion, acceptance, friendship, loyalty, and love.  This is an absolute must read (and listen to!) if you are a fan of TJ Klune!
