The Warm Machine by Aimee Cozza

When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he's working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root. COVER ARTIST: Aimee Cozza PUBLISHER: 9mm Press YEAR: 2024 LENGTH: 196 pages  AGE: Adult GENRE: Science Fiction RECOMMENDED: Highly Queer Rep Summary: The main characters are robots, likely closest to aro/ace but those terms aren't quite applicable. Gender is also not an important factor. THE WARM MACHINE plays with ideas of friendship, connection, and searching for utopia, all through the lens of a construction robot who falls in love at first sight with a military bot....

AGE: Adult
GENRE: Fantasy, Urban Fantasy

Queer Rep Summary: No canon queer rep.

I liked getting Gillian's perspective, but most of this felt like telling a new person stuff that we've learned elsewhere about Faerie. It's fine, and I'm glad I read it, but it's probably not one that's essential if you have trouble finding it. It does answer what happened when Toby wasn't around in the main story, so that was nice. 

CW for violence, blood.
