Mecha Samurai Empire by Peter Tieryas
4.0
(4.0 Stars)
I was initially hesitant to read this book. The first in the series was "just ok", but showed an interesting potential. I feel like the writer has grown as a writer between the two books for some reason.
There are a lot of uncomfortable themes in this book, and the protagonist is young and immature... The world building is decent. You have to suspend some belief in physics and reality, but at least it remains constant and isn't used as a crutch to advance the plot.
The character growth is very good, where they are written in a way that closely resembles early anime from the 1970's (like Star Blazers or G-Force).
