Deus Ex Mechanic by Ryann Fletcher

1.0

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.
