Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m not sure why it took me—a book professional—so long to realize this isn‘t more fae romance…but booooooy, did I buy it fast when I found out it‘s MECHS. IN. SPACE.

Haven‘t read this but I want it for the sides 😍

I pre-ordered this book from Amazon, look at the edges! And while I thought it was fantasy, it was sci-fi.

This space opera is interesting as it‘s a revenge tale in space with giant ancient jousting robots. Jump in knowing it‘s sci-fi and you‘ll be fine!

It took me half the book to become fully invested and half a star for the cliff hanger. Now I wait for the second book in the duology. That foredge is amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Audio from Libby. This story takes place on a space station; which was barely mentioned. I would also have really liked to know how this space jousting “ride and fall” works. I never felt like I could SEE what was going on. I wanted more of the mystery of the station. So much left unsettled or just mentioned once. The ending 20% brought it more together, though didn‘t land smoothly. Not sure if I‘ll read the sequel.

This book is what would happen if Gladiator and The Count of Monte Christo had a baby and then let Red Rising babysit it. Or something like that. Mech suits with a hidden secret, gladiatorial combat, a space station population desperately waiting for the planet below to be terraformed, haves (and boy do they have) & have nots, murder, revenge, & political intrigue. Yep, everything. Oh, & a touch of romance too. Entertaining tension filled read.

This is a very pretty book—the pictures don‘t do it justice.

It also starts very fast. It‘s entertaining so far.

Book mail!😍

Two #bookmail today. Both 1st editions with pretty edges.

My work received the ARC of this new sci-fi epic, and I‘ve been devouring every word! Good for fans of Iron Widow and anyone who likes space, mech battles, and revenge. This comes out later this month (the 21st!) and I am so tempted to get myself the fancy edition with sprayed edges.
