This book took a long time to actually get going, and there were a lot of overly-long descriptions, especially at the beginning. I liked the last third of it the best, once Gamora and Nebula were actually together.

My thoughts throughout this galactic read:

0% I loved the Loki book in this series and I really like both Gamora and Nebula’s characters so this could be interesting.
19% I just decided to try this new reviewing method so what are my thoughts on the first 19%... the world may never know...
20% “Welcome to the Devil’s Backbone” oooo what’s that??
35% I like Nebula’s chapters better. They give more insight into the sisters’ past and Gamora and Nebula’s relationship.
73% *GASP*!
73% Okay.. that was a little cheesy
100% Thanos sucks... also Oh, snap!! (Pun intended)

100%- I’m not a big fan of reading books where space or planets out in galaxies are the setting, but I did enjoy this one because of the main characters. There was enough action to keep me interested and a few twists and turns. I liked the way the ending ties into the MCU in a couple ways. Overall, I feel like this was Nebula’s backstory. There were some insights into Gamora as well but Nebula shined for me, and I liked it that way.

Actually pretty dang good. I loved the action and emotional complexities of the relationships between Gamora, Nebula, and Thanos. The ending is delightfully cruel and a perfect lead-up to what Marvel fans understand about the characters within the MCU lore. I loved the plot twists as well and the in-depth world building for a planet that should normally be a blink and you miss it piece of the Marvel lore. I enjoyed myself!

I always thought I'd like a sister. Maybe not. ;)

This book, more than the Loki one, seemed to be closer to canon for me. I felt like the background of the sisters' relationship made sense. I always felt like they should have been able to overcome their upbringing but Thanos really did a number on them.
