A review by alrightieaphroditie
Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston
3.0
three stars ∗ i think one of the main reasons i loved this book so much is because i LOVE the story of anastasia! i grew up with the animated movie and i just really like everything about lost princess and the scoundrel (or in this books case, the robot)! i’ve been in the mood for an anastasia retelling ((if you know of any more ya retellings please let me know!!)) because i’ve been wanting to try and write an anastasia retelling myself, and i heard this was one but set in space and i knew i had to read it asap.
i loved ashley’s first book, geekerella, so i was really excited to pick up another book from her! i really love her writing style. it’s really simple but beautiful and it gets the message across in fun, descriptive ways!
overall, every aspect of this book was just wonderful. i loved the world (space, robots, and outlaws - oh my!) and the technology was suuuuuper fascinating to read about. the characters were so funny and felt so real (even the metal? di owns my heart) and even just the plot was executed so well. i have heart eyes for this book.
the last 50 pages threw me for a whirl, and i was not expecting any of the twists or reveals ((even though i did have some slight guesses)) and i feel like the book ended with a small cliffhanger?? regardless, i’m really really looking forward to the sequel!!! i don’t usually love science fiction books, but man, when i do, i really love them.
