Defy the Fates by Claudia Gray
5.0
AS the final installment of this trilogy, I was partial to enjoying it. Like, very biased. And I did. I'm glad I picked up Defy the Stars. I'm glad I finished the sequel and now the third.
Good points: I like the way Claudia Gray tackles the moral questions about being human, having a soul, and the advent of cybernetics. I liked the relationship between Abel and Noemi. I like both Noemi and Abel, now that they have moved passed the difficult stages of adjusting to each other (way back in book 1). I like that even though Abel is arrogant about his abilities, he IS the only unique Mech, and he IS extremely good at most of what he does.
Bad points: Nothing really! Though, it does suck a lot to be Abel and the most wanted Mech in the universe (this results in a lot of repeated plot movers). Oh, and I'm still not sure what Cray looks like. Or Stronghold. No wait, Stronghold feels more self-described, but a more visual image would have been great.
