The Lost Signal by J.S. Fernandez Morales

3.0

3.5 stars out of 5.

❝Hybrid? All I see now is a warrior, don't you?❞

It took me a while to get into it but I am really glad I did! Each chapter focused on a different environment. I did end up enjoying Fiona's pov more. The world was well-built and Fiona's story was captivating.

I did find the Okinawa Six being a bit repetitive. They went through a terrible experience but we have no idea what that was. We found out general things, so it isn't fair to be constantly reminded of events that seriously affected them without us having a more detailed idea of those events.

The plot twist about her identity was something I had guessed earlier but it still took me by surprise! I think the book should have focused more on her regaining her memories slowly over time. Her remembering everything all at once kind of annoyed me. Why did she lose her memories in the first place, her bonding over with Bill and the other crew was limited. I know they were in the middle of a war and too busy to do that but still, I thought it was something important and must have been developed more.

The sequel seems promising, I can't wait to see Fiona and Kurugar again. I really enjoy their dynamic and I am glad we'll see more of it.
