by Jay Kristoff
Likes:
The writing was exceptional. I can see why so many people love Jay Kristoff's works. He can weave a fantastic tale. And while I wish there was some more world building here, I got a feel of the world through the storytelling that had me interested in learning more.
The characters (through most of the book) were entertaining to read about and definitely had some very emotional backstories, but they were lacking a little in being well rounded.
The robots. I like robots.
Tank Girl vibes. Jet Girl vibes. It was great.
Dislikes:
Lack of world building. It wasn't info dumpy enough for my taste. This is probably a positive to most people.
The MC near the end. WTF was that ending even though? It felt like the character changed drastically and while it made sense if you squinted...shouldn't have to squint.
Overall:
I was entertained, but I don't think it was enough to continue with the series. I'm definitely interested in trying out other works by Mr. Kristoff though, because I really enjoyed his writing.
