5.0

 This book embodies female rage. This is a great sci-fi book with robot mechas and their evolutions (!!). The world building and the storytelling was really great. Xiran did a great job helping me visualize the magnitude of the mechas. The book didn’t feel too rushed and had a good balance between storylines and the progressions. I read through this book rather quickly. The romantic relationships in this book surpassed my expectations and made me really giddy besides the fact that there was a war happening.
