[Review] Only Human (Themis Files #3) by Sylvain Nuevel

Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel

Series: The Themis Files #3
Rating: 4 stars

Published: May 1st 2018

Goodreads Synopsis:
In her childhood, Rose Franklin accidentally discovered a giant metal hand buried beneath the ground outside Deadwood, South Dakota. As an adult, Dr. Rose Franklin led the team that uncovered the rest of the body parts which together form Themis: a powerful robot of mysterious alien origin. She, along with linguist Vincent, pilot Kara, and the unnamed Interviewer, protected the Earth from geopolitical conflict and alien invasion alike. Now, after nearly ten years on another world, Rose returns to find her old alliances forfeit and the planet in shambles. And she must pick up the pieces of the Earth Defense Corps as her own friends turn against each other.
A thrilling conclusion to the end of one of my favorite science fiction series.

Rose Franklin, Vincent Couture and his daughter Eva have returned from space almost ten years later. Instead of a war between aliens and humans, they are now in the middle of a war between world powers, as countries fight for control of the giant robots, and have strictly regulated who exactly is considered human.

Thematic Tuesdays - The Concept of Humanity in Sci-Fi

Thematic Tuesday #1: The Concept of Humanity in Sci-Fi

Featuring: Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel 
&
Obsidio by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman

Trying out something new as I reemerge from a long blog hiatus. I've realized when blogging for my school's English department that I've preferred analyzing themes from a series of books as opposed to reviewing. So these thematic reviews are less about what I liked/disliked and more about a general topic. I'll try to have these every other Tuesday (I'd normally say every Tuesday but I might be reviewing really big books).

Technically, my first thematic review was on Female Perspective in Science Fiction over here. I'll call it part 1 of my sci-fi reviews. I've been very much into the genre lately.
