The writing was a bit "too YA" at times. The story itself was fine, the characters were fine, the setting was fine—it just wasn't anything mind blowing. Maybe it's because I've never been really that into Mecha but it wasn't my cup of tea. Might still read the sequel if I happen to wonder what comes next.

I love a “everyone has to die” type of book and this one didn’t disappoint. 
Even though, the middle was kinda long with all the blabla politic and all, I really loved it anyway. 
The end was amazing. The mains are badass and I really liked how the throuple didn’t feel forced. Everything was “too” natural, it just happened. 
I loved the end

I love the god complex and her being unbothered by her mass murdering.

Such a fascinating and quality take on gender dynamics and physical disability, on top of compelling worldbuilding and satisfying plot-twists. Recommended in the highest order.
