Intriguing idea. Decent writing. Terrible execution. Characters that all feel genuinely the same. It's trying to give off an Evangelion-meets-Gundam vibe, but fails on a lot of levels. Especially when the mechs that this world and story centers itself around don't make a prominent appearance until the end (90%) of the book. It's mostly a bunch of teens and children rehashing their trauma and squabbling with each other.

The ideas behind the book are good but the execution needs work. Some scenes are there just to get a certain outcome but it feels like not a lot of work went into them.
