A review by manali
Alita: Battle Angel by Pat Cadigan
4.0
That was a sick read. I could not put the book down. (To be noted that I have not read the manga or watched the movie yet). The story and world building is consistent and has perfect clarity. The writing style is appropriately simple, catchy, and quite fitting for the genre too.

That was quite a frustrating ending to read. Is Alita a harmless and part of the circus now, or is Nova/Zalem a power which can and will be taken down after all? If it's the former, that kind of a hopeless, cynical and dark message isn't something I want from a book given the kind of world we live in right now
