Androids, humanoids, dolls, or this story’s case, GEMs, don’t usually scratch my itch, but it seems that Bikke’s pretty good at being the exception to a number of my rules.
I can say, without hesitation, that I wanted something really bad to happen to Frants—his complete unwillingness to even try to comprehend his situation and the selfishness that it was born from was so annoying. That aside, it was a pretty decent story. But I would have liked a less tried conclusion.
