A review by alexanderczigler
Hullmetal Girls by Emily Skrutskie
4.0
I really enjoy a good story depicting the day-to-day life of humans that have left the planet earth behind. Hullmetal Girls falls right into that category. What I liked most about the book is the world building and the likely social and political issues that the protagonists are fighting against.
I enjoyed the story and the characters in the book but there were a couple of times when I realized I felt indifferent to the outcome of the actions of Aisha and Key. I think I simply failed to understand some of their back-story and/or motivation.
In a book that centeres on significant body and brain modification I would have enjoyed a lot more details about of the psychological and emotional lives of the characters before and after their modifications.
All in all I think the author made a good job keeping the story consistant and down-to-earth and I enjoyed reading the book.
