Deus Ex Mechanic by Ryann Fletcher

Okay, quite an interesting read. Both characters are interesting on their own and together. I'm not the biggest fan of steampunk but I liked how things developed and will definitely buy the rest of the chronicles! I wish I had a better imagination to have a better picture of the visuals.

A lazy book. There's so much ambition in setting up this steam-punk space rebellion world and then finding the time to develop a romance within this world. However, neither was done very well. We create two opposing sides that are hardcore life or death but when it came time to actually prove that, no one really stood solidly in their convictions. People deflected left and right, motivations were an afterthought. Then the romance. Their was this push and pull that could have easily been the books salvation but just like the plot, the intentions behind the push and pull, the will they or won't they, were an afterthought. Something to create a tension but not enough to care if the romance developed or not.

There were so many times I was on the verge of DNF but I just had this small in hope in me, that I'd find something I really enjoyed.

DNF
Steam on a spaceship?
I get that this is kind of a steam punk space adventure but... Intergalactic boilers?? Defies physics and chemistry and not in an interesting way

Super cute and engaging! Who doesn’t love space pirates! The story moved quickly and I enjoyed the characters and the crew dynamics.

it takes a near death experience to realise sometimes things just arent that deep

It felt rushed and yet it took forever at times. I liked the dynamic between Alice and Violet, but I think it needed fleshed out more
