WaR: Wizards and Robots by will.i.am and Brian David Johnson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book. It's a fun, young-adult, sci-fi/fantasy adventure.

Ada Luring is a teenager living an average life when her world is turned upside down. The plot is set some years into the future and there are a lot of references to futuristic technological advances throughout, which make the story interesting and thought-provoking. It sparks the imagination with ideas of future technology and how people could be living in the next couple of hundred years. The fun thing about fantasy is that no one really knows, so it's interesting to read other people's ideas about such things.

Earth is threatened by an evil attack set to take place in the future and Ada is called upon to help to avoid the catastrophe. This book cleverly skips between the past, present, and future as we follow the Ada, along with her companions, in their quest for answers in an attempt to prevent the impending destruction of Earth.

As indicated by the title, this book features wizards and robots. A team of killer robots are threatening to destroy everything. Ada and her friends soon discover there is more to this than meets the eye.

Ada's companions include a wizard from the past and a robot from the future, as well as her own pet robot.

I think this book can be enjoyed by all ages, although it is in essence a young-adult book.

The story is compelling and I found myself looking forward to finding out what would happen next.

There are a lot of action-packed scenes that keep the story moving forward. The main characters Ada and Geller are enchanting and endearing.

The idea behind the book is intriguing and it's written in a enthralling way. It kept my interest throughout.

The ending really brings everything together nicely. Definitely worth reading.
