Born to freedom. Molded into submission. Pleasure is her only weapon.
Humanotica, Book 1
No matter what the law decrees, Entreus is no one’s chattel. And he’s determined that no other humanotic—part human, part robot—spends one more second under the stranglehold of the power-mad government machine. That means doing whatever it takes to advance the cause for freedom. Even seduce a government minister’s favorite toy, a newly minted trinex named Silver.
Silver was a free woman until she committed the ultimate sin—pretending to be male to gain entrance to an exclusive science academy. Her punishment modification. Now she is equal parts female, male and machine. The property of the secretive, charismatic Lel Kesselbaum, whose appetites push her new sexual abilities to heights of pleasure that make her wonder who is master, who is slave.
Until Entreus bargains his body in exchange for a secret meeting that rekindles her longing for freedom. Yet helping the fiery revolutionary execute his plan isn’t so simple, especially when she discovers her master’s secret—a secret that leaves her heart torn between two men. And one step in the wrong direction could mean death for them all.
Warning Contains wickedly inventive sexual situations and language, including not-so-ordinary body modification and same-sex scenes with BDSM elements. And a most unusual application of decorative silver. Please step away if your taste doesn’t run toward the exotic.
Silver Humanotica edition by Darcy Abriel Literature Fiction eBooks
It starts out quite nicely: An SF quasi-dystopia with a Roman-Republic style governance, terrorists a la the Gunpowder Plot, and very clear laws about machine/human blends.Then it goes somewhere I won't: a viewpoint character being forced to enjoy unwanted sexuality. It's the "forced to enjoy" part that burns bridges for me. And I didn't see it coming. If the viewpoint had stayed with the controller, I would have kept reading. But when the target narrated the sequence. No. Put it down.

Silver Humanotica edition by Darcy Abriel Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I'm not quite sure where to begin in my review of Silver by Darcy Abriel. This book is book one in her Humanotica series and I did get fascinated enough to read book 2, Haevyn
The thing about Silver is that I've never had a book bother me quite so much. On the one hand, it definitely captured my attention. On the other, some of that capture was in the perturbation factor.
Silver is a science fiction romance. I generally like SFR.
Silver takes place in an empire that has probably hit the downward spiral. Think of Rome under the really, really bad emperors, like Tiberius, or Caligula. You know, electing horses to serve in the Senate. Or Star Wars under that fellow we all know and love, the Emperor Palpatine. Remember him? He turned out to be way out there on the Dark Side of the Force.
Decadent empires can give rise (pun possibly intended) to all kinds of disgusting, and manipulative poltical practices. Including the use of sex, and blackmail about sex, as political maneuvering.
Very decadent imperial citizens are often too lazy to work (back to Rome again) so they employ slaves.
In the case of Quentopolis, those slaves are humanotics. Any person with 51% or more cybernetic parts is automatically sold into slavery, if they are caught.
Women are second-class citizens anyway. The reason for this isn't explained, it just is. But then again, it so frequently isn't explained, even in real life.
Silver used to be a normal woman, but she was caught pretending to be a man in order to attend a prestigious scientific academy. Her sentence; to become a humanotic and be sold into slavery.
Her new owner, Lel Kesselbaum has a fetish for male humanotics. With cybernetics, this is a complicated but not impossible problem. Lel has this formerly independent woman transformed into a trinex.
What's a trinex? In this case, female from the waist up, male from the waist down, and more than 51% cybernetic. There are a lot of descriptions of the sexual aspects of Silver's nature.
But what keeps driving me wacky is the change in Silver's personality. She was fiercely independent, and now she's submissive to Kesselbaum's Dominor. (Dominor being both a political title and a sexual reference in this case).
In male/male romance, there's a trope named "gay for you". This story made me wonder if there is a similar trope in BDSM fic called "sub for you". During the story, Silver discovers she likes to be dominant with other lovers, but not with Kesselbaum. With him, she's always the submissive, and she loves it that way.
There's is a slave revolt being planned. Entreus is the leader of that revolt. When he enters the picture, Silver discovers that her master is playing a very long game, and is not quite what he seems.
But there's never any doubt about what choices she will make.
Escape Rating C- I found the world fascinating, but I'm very glad that Entreus is the main character for Haevyn. He has more agency, and is in more control of his actions than Silver is.
Review originally posted at Reading Reality
I'm honestly not sure how I first came across Silver, but I'm damned glad that it's found a second life with a new publisher. This is big, intricate, plot-driven science fiction, complete with a diverse cast of well-developed characters, and a whole lot of kinky sex. In terms of sheer eroticism, this may be the most imaginative novel I've ever come across, but what's truly exciting is that Darcy Abriel does it all within the context of a powerful dystopian sci-fi thriller.
Here we have a future city by the name of Quentopolis, a place where cybernetic augmentation has become so commonplace that a 50% threshold has been established between citizen and property. Ruled by the human members of the Politico, it's facing a violent rebellion from the Metallitionist Resistance, who argue that no amount of modification should reduce one to a life of slavery. It's a story of the fight for justice, but it's also a story of the thirst for revenge. Ulterior motives abound (on both sides of the divide), and appearances most certainly are almost always deceiving.
Lel Kesselbaum is not just a high-ranking member of the Politico, he's also part of an erotic, BDSM-driven segment of the nobility known as the Dominatae. Cold, distant, and cruel at first glance, he's a man with some genuine complexity beneath the surface. Watching him develop through the course of the story is utterly fascinating. His rival in the tale, the protagonist to his antagonist, is Entreus, a mechanized Orictian warrior who now leads the Metallitionist Resistance. Mechanically augmented to be the perfect warrior, and trained in the fine arts of killing, he's at odds with his own cause in seeking a peaceful means of driving change from within the system itself.
Connecting these two men is the character of Silver herself - and she is where the story gets really interesting. One of those citizens who crossed the mechanical threshold, she has been further modified by her owner, Kesselbaum, into a creature of impossible beauty - a humanotic, genderfluid sex goddess with a silver-tipped phallus. She has been conditioned to both give and receive pleasure, and trained in the arts of both dominance and submission, making her an effective tool for his political maneuverings. She is still human at heart, however, which complicates matters when she's assigned to master the secrets of Entreus, and finds herself falling in love with his reluctant submission to her Trinex charms.
Alternately violent and erotic, Silver is a story that more than delivers on its promise. There is a stellar sci-fi thriller here, with enough twists and surprises to keep even the most jaded reader entertained, along with a truly inventive erotic romance, with each new sexual innovation topping the one before it. Check your expectations and your inhibitions at the door, because this is a story that will take you to some strangely exciting places.
The author didn't seem to understand the topic. The book wandered and wasn't worth the pixels to display on my .
A colossal waste of time and money. If the description had called it what it is, I never would have bought it.
I felt it could have been much shorter. I didnt feel the character connections and felt myself questioning the real motivations. It just didn't feel authentic to me.
There were a lot of twists and turns in this book. I liked the world and the characters, but I found myself wanting a prequel. I wanted to see more of Silver's life before she was transformed. I think I would have understood her motivation and the culture better that way. But I will buy the next book when it comes out.
It starts out quite nicely An SF quasi-dystopia with a Roman-Republic style governance, terrorists a la the Gunpowder Plot, and very clear laws about machine/human blends.
Then it goes somewhere I won't a viewpoint character being forced to enjoy unwanted sexuality. It's the "forced to enjoy" part that burns bridges for me. And I didn't see it coming. If the viewpoint had stayed with the controller, I would have kept reading. But when the target narrated the sequence. No. Put it down.
