"Heavenbreaker had some unconventional writing but I was all for it. You never knew what would happen next. Obviously, there were plot holes and world-building could have been explained better but I'm hoping for more clarity in book 2. Let's just say I was so wrapped up in the outer space Pacific Rim jousting matches that the negatives were minuscule in comparison. Synali is a suicidal vengeance machine. She doesn't care about the code and pilots like it's her last. Rax and her relationship blossomed without much input but still, I can see the connection between the two. One playing for the crowd and the other playing for herself. Both envious of one another. The main characters are pretty surface level, cut and dry but there is some nice character growth as well. Although Synali being so good so fast was farfetched. The action scenes were of epic-level proportions. It reminded me of anime where there is a slight lull and the speeches of the characters are full of meaning with intense sparring in between. I will say the inner monolog gets repetitive toward the end though. Also, the offhand mentions of church and God were a bit weird. Almost like our character and the fictional world were on the fence about including it. I found this story to be haunting and highly intriguing. In the end, I wanted to know more but I didn't feel slighted. The relationship is a slow burn. I don't know where anything is headed but I'm down to find out. Sadly though the massed produce sprayed edges need some work. It looked like the printer was out of ink and the book wasn't lined up right. Most stores are taking this approach and doing a poor job of it."
