Über diesen Titel
Born to die and be born again, Gell the Jellyfae must discover her strange connection to the horrible monsters called humans, that speak with words she understands, but seem to want nothing but her death. Driven by a desire for safety and freedom, she ventures forth to Tread the Sky and finds more worlds than one.

In comes Artificial Jelly, a novel about the integration of Gell - the first AI, born in a game as a jelly - into a community.
While Gell is all kinds of cute and the reader can enjoy a lot of silly and heart-warming escapades, the story is not devoid of meaning. While reading, I could think and interpret a certain lesson into some scenes.
The interesting and many layered characters the protagonists interact with are the cherry on top of an already great novel.
This combination of child-like joy and food for thoughts make for one of the most entertaining reads in the AI-fiction genre I have had in a while.
Let's talk about the second instalment specifically; the story starts by metaphorically kicking puppies for a really uncombable long amount of time. In fact, I shelved the story a few chapters in because of those poor puppies. Yesterday though, I picked it back up, and forced myself to read. I actually really enjoyed the second book from there on, so much in fact, that I binged the entire thing in two days. What I am saying is don't despair, the sequel starts of harsh, but quickly outgrows the already high bar set by the first book.
Most importantly though the story stays grounded and sticks to the wonderful saying "small well dug deep", continuously exploring its domain, instead of spreading thin to a numbers-go-up -- exponential growth game or any such nonsense.
Traci Odom does a magnificent job of voicing Gell in the audiobook, honestly it's better the reading yourself in this specific case, so I highly suggest you give it a shot.
I hope my review instils a dopamine influx in the lazy brain of the author. So that they may not leave us with a trilogy, but a tetralogy instead, because I f-ing hate the concept of a trilogy, and tetralogy sounds much more fun. Cheers
The most cutestset & wobblyest Gell ever

Jell is an AI, but from a writing perspective, she's essentially a young girl trapped in a video game. This story, as of the end of book two, is a coming of age story first, and foremost.
The fact that she is an AI is very relevant to the story, but she's a very human one. She doesn't have unlimited multitasking as of yet, nor hyper intelligence. She is often a little stupid, and always very emotional, as you'd expect from a girl who is just at the cusp of adolescence.
The core of the story so far is about Jell learning about herself, her video game world, the real world, and most of all her emotional development. She deals with boredom, loneliness, pain, grief, joy, and heartbreak in very believable ways. As you listen, you might feel some frustration at her being ignorant, or in denial on occasion, but it's never forced, always understandable, and in character, and I for one shed more than a few tears with her when things got hard.
If you want an emotionally gripping coming of age story with sci-fi elements, I can heartily recommend this!
A Heartwarming, and Heartbreaking Story
