I'm not okay, this book is amazing, it fills all my weird lesbian drama niches.

It's got: Angsty sapphics, a lesbian who wants to be anything but a weapon but puts herself on the line constantly, a bisexual who is endlessly angry and willing to die for her family, older unhinged sisters who mean well but are terrifying, child soldiers that just want to be children, questionable citizens of a questionable society that consumes them without skipping a beat.......

my god.

I can't even say there were instances that made me roll my eyes because it was just a phenomenal read. A little slow, anxiety inducing at the start because it takes a while to get into the meat and both the ladies are in questionable situations. But once it got into it, I couldn't stop. So happy my library had this!!

mechas and queers! lol can't ask for much more. these chicks are ruthless with the world but gentle with each other...at least, as gentle as you can be amidst all the banter😆 a few things bugged me a bit like, all that tech and Godololia has not a single tracker on their mechas, their transports or their pilots??? i guess they are just that confident in their control of everything🤷🏻‍♀️ and i guess the big guy needed a purpose other than leading cuz he clearly failed there. the rest of the team is great - the family Sona and Eris need. and that Enyo guy already irritates the shit outta me for some reason lol onto the sequel to, hopefully, watch his ass get kicked😂

Be still my Gundam fangirl heart. This book has all the moral ambiguity and found family that I adore. Not to mention characters who are absolutely chaotic and willing to risk everything to bring down a corrupt organization. I love it. I need more. Can't wait for book two in this duology.

This one was a little slow to get going, but was really good. The author kept the tension up the whole time and every twist was a genuine surprise.
