Review:

This was a wholly unsatisfying book. I was pretty much confused throughout the entire thing, and It wasn’t even the type of story that should be confusing. I also thought that the plot was unfinished, and the way the ending was shaped was not good. I liked the characters and their relationships, and I believe that is one of the only parts I actually liked about his book. The world and story building were also very cool, and I could really picture it. The way the author wrote the book was an issue for me. It was hard to read and not the most enjoyable. I love the cover and how cute the romance is but the book can not be resealed by just that. Not bad by not good!

Trigger Warnings:
Death of loved ones, Physical and graphic violence, Torture, Multiple blood mentions, and Graphic deaths

Synopsis From Book:

We went past praying to deities and started to build them instead... The shadow of Godolia's tyrannical rule is spreading, aided by their giant mechanized weapons known as Windups. War and oppression are everyday constants for the people of the Badlands, who live under the thumb of their cruel Godolia overlords. Eris Shindanai is a Gearbreaker, a brash young rebel who specializes in taking down Windups from the inside. When one of her missions goes awry and she finds herself in a Godolia prison, Eris meets Sona Steelcrest, a cybernetically enhanced Windup pilot. At first Eris sees Sona as her mortal enemy, but Sona has a secret: She has intentionally infiltrated the Windup program to destroy Godolia from within. As the clock ticks down to their deadliest mission yet, a direct attack to end Godolia's reign once and for all, Eris and Sona grow closer--as comrades, friends, and perhaps something more...
