- Alex White is the absolute best at huge, epic, edge of your seat space battles, and AUGUST KITKO AND THE MECHAS FROM SPACE delivers that and more.
- Not only is this a roaring adventure, but also a queer love story and a mystery, too.
- I loved both Gus and Ardent, two people who are drawn to each other, fight a bit, but are still intent on figuring each other out.
- This book is moderately less complicated than White's BIG SHIP books: I could follow it on audio even though it was my first ever SFF audiobook (partly due to narrator Hayden Bishop, who was great at differentiating character voices without getting cartoony).
