Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston
5.0
I pre-ordered this book months ago because it sounded interesting. I had no idea just how much I would love it! I love all the characters, I love the plot, I love the... things that happened!! The writing was beautiful as well, and I love how the author hands out little tidbits of information at a time like puzzle pieces. I have been put off by YA fantasy/sci-fi lately, because so many of them have been too predictable. I did not foresee most of the things that happened in Heart of Iron! I will admit, though, that the editing was a bit rough, especially at the beginning. There were a lot of repeated words, spelling errors and sentences changing from past to present tense. This did tend to pull me out of the story a bit, but things started to flow more smoothly the further I got into the story.
If I had to plug Heart of Iron, I'd say it's for fans of The Lunar Chronicles, Throne of Glass and... maybe Firefly. Throw in some LGBTQ characters and some robots and you've got yourself Heart of Iron! While it does have elements of each of these books in it, the overall storyline, especially the ending, is unique and refreshing. I can't wait for Book 2, and to see what happens next and how this band of misfit outlaws is going to fix everything. I don't think I've been this excited over a new series since ACOTAR.
