I think my brain is too small for scifi because i kept speeding over the descriptions to read the dialogue and then had no idea what was going on, but that’s on me and my soft brain. The perspective switching also confused me a lot but again maybe i’m just dumb

 - Wow, what a ride GEARBREAKERS is! It's the slow burn sapphic mecha pilot burn the world down story I didn't know I needed.
- The battle scenes in this book are AWESOME. I was on the edge of my seat every time.
- I do think there were maybe a few too many characters in the crew to keep track of, and I wanted a bit more worldbuilding, but I'm hoping that all comes in the sequel. I'm following Eris and Sona through to the (probably bitter) end.
