'I'm not putting love handles on my killbot.'

EXCUSE ME, WHO ALLOWED THIS BOOK TO BE AS FANTASTIC AS IT IS?!

There's basically non-stop action in this, which is almost a given for this series and I just love how deep everything goes and THE STAKES KEEP GETTING HIGH. I especially enjoyed the subplot regarding the cult but also, the Checo (nb character, yesss) thing and the whole Masquerade concept were so great to read about

Also, it's basically impossible to choose who's my fave, Orna or Nilah, like they're both so freaking amazing I just wanna die. CHARGER and his little boy voice fucking slayed me every time. Armin really is the most underrated character but I loved that he turned out to be aro ace all this time. The Jans remain couple goals even if Malik needs to stop taking so many risks but Aisha really shined in this one. The twins are a great addition to the team and I can't wait to read more about their origin story (TRAGEDY SIBLINGS VIBES). Cordell and Boots remain their most charming selves which is as good as can be expected from the, I guess LOL. NEVER CHANGE

I do have a minor complaint, though which is
SpoilerARMIN, AN ARO ACE CHARACTER, FUCKING DIED. NOOOOOOOO. That was a really, really bad idea. I mean, we could have gotten a whole spin-off series about him and =/
. Apart from that, this series basically rocks and I can't get enough of it

A mid trilogy novel that manages to keep the pressure on this motley space crew of revenge seeking scavengers with a series of complications to their latest mission. Alongside heart stopping & heart breaking movements.
