3.0
Kinda distopian future (that we don’t get to really see or experience) featuring two “badass”, overpower full main characters/ live interests.
Being badass shouldn’t be synonym of “mean”, or “mouthy” or “wisecrack”.
For all the fight scenes, it wasn’t really clear what the real problem was or the objective for all those fights. Maybe it would have worked better as a comic book.
If you enjoy fight scenes and characters showing off their powers, you might like this book. But if you’re picky about plotting and character motivation, you might need to gather up some patience first.
About the audio, narrator might want to work on female voices, they came off as mocking. Otherwise it was great.
