“Anastasia” meets “Treasure Planet” in this action-packed YA sci-fi by Ashley Poston!
This is my second time reading “Heart of Iron” (my first time on audiobook) and I was just as engaged and excited as I was in 2021 when I read it the first time. Poston blended elects from two animated classics into a new story that will interest any science fiction fan.
All of the characters are are so vibrant and fun, with layers of backstory that slowly reveals over the course of the story. They fit perfectly in the beautiful world Poston created as well, which has nods to the world building in the “Star Wars” franchise.

Rigid and humans and corruption and power in a fight for ruling the universe, lots of twists and turns, not a happy book.. Lots of fighting and deaths and robot controlled consciousness

Found family in space??? And an Anastasia retelling?? I’m in!
-WLW and MLM side couples
-you’ll probably like this if you’re a fan of The Lunar Chronicles and Illuminae Files!
-There are four point of views, and the pacing + chapter length is perfect. It’s fast paced and attention grabbing. The characters are fun and loveable.
CW: A suicide is mentioned, deaths, fire, shooting, etc
The chapters between Robb and Jax?? The tension??? The flirting? I was dying ahsjdjdjdjjf
And every time Siege and Talle call each other sunshine or other nicknames?? So cute!
