Sona has been trained by Godolia for years to be a pilot, the final step being undergoing surgery to convert her body to one that can sync with a Valkyrie Windup, but she has kept hidden her true goal the entire time: to take down the ones responsible for the destruction of her home.
Eris has been with the rebels for years and has become a notorious Gearbreaker, one known only by her codename, Eris, when she is captured by Godolia and taken back to the Windup base as a prisoner to break or torture.
Those these two women don't realize it when they first meet, they will become one of the biggest thorns in Godolia's side as they seek to bring them down and end the oppression of their reign once and for all.
Ho-ly CRAP! This book was amazing. Almost from the very beginning, the plot was off and running, with very few opportunities for a breath. Told using a dual-POV, we are provided the opportunity to get to know both of our heroines while also seeing how they each view the world. And, let me tell you, as much as they have nearly identical goals from the beginning, their introduction does not go well. Nor, once they decide to play nice with each other, does Sona's introduction to the rest of the Gearbreakers.
Honestly, I don't think I ever really thought that Sona was safe while with the Gearbreakers, as there always seemed to be someone trying to kill her for all kinds of reasons - some good if annoying and others just plain dumb.
Though we don't spend much time in Godolia with the other pilots, it is long enough to get to know them, and I appreciated their character development. Though not as well-fleshed out as the other Gearbreakers, they were not stereotypes, which was nice to see.
The other Gearbreakers certainly had more focus in their character development, and I found Xander quickly becoming my favorite despite the fact that he didn't speak. I will admit to beginning to get annoyed with Milo, but that was (of course) the point of his behaviors.
The various battles described were really good, and it wasn't always immediately clear who would win and who might end up injured. Then we get to that ending and OH. MY. GOD!!!! Zoe Hana Mikuta - I have questions! Let me say that it's a good thing Godslayers has already been published because if I had had to wait for it after that ending... Well, I'm glad I don't. Know I'm not going to tell you what happens. Just know that it is awesome. It is big. It will leave you near speechless. And you may find yourself wanting to throw something at the wall. Or maybe that's just me. Either way, if I hadn't already been loving the book, the ending would have sold the rest of the book for me.
I went back and forth between reading and listening to the audiobook for this one. The audiobook, narrated by Catharine Ho and Cindy Kay, was really good. Having the dual narrators helped make it really easy to identify which POV a chapter was, and though the voices used for the other characters were slightly different for each narrator, it was still easy to tell who was who in the story. As much as I enjoyed when I was listening, I will definitely try to get a copy of the audiobook for Godslayers, so I can listen to them.
If you like mechas and giant mecha battles, underdog stories, crazy teammates, murder attempts, f/f romance, and, oh, did I mention the crazy teammates? Anyway, if those things sound fun to you, then you definitely need to pick up a copy of this book and read it. Of course, as soon as you do, you'll also need to read Godslayers, so be prepared for that.
