Welcome to Litsy!

This book has everything plus giant robots. The banter and the romance and the food and I could go on. I enjoyed it immensely.

Overall, I enjoyed Rebel Seoul a whole lot. It‘s billed as “Pacific Rim” meets K-Dramas, and while that‘s accurate, it certainly favors the K-Drama aspect more. Lots of great characters, excellent world-building, and some good action (though more scenes with the giant robots fighting would have been nice).

This line made me chuckle (and want a God Machine of my own!):

“GMs (God Machines), in general, are fun to pilot. They‘re just purposed to kill people, which makes them terrible toys.”

“All I know is what your life was worth to me, and to me, your life was worth the world.”‪

Damn, this was a really great chapter. Closure without closure. Rebel Seoul is starting to fill in the blanks in Jaewon‘s past, and these are certainly the best pieces of the plot, so far.‬

I like this description of freedom in Axie Oh‘s Rebel Seoul, partly because of what it says about the character sharing it.

I‘m impressed by how Axie Oh has managed to keep Jaewon an engaging character while still withholding so much about him. He‘s so invested in the moment that his unwillingness to think in detail on his past doesn‘t come across as forced even though there‘s plenty to be explored there and I‘m more than a third of the way into the book. #RebelSeoul #AxieOh #YA #WeNeedDiverseBooks #scifi #youngadult #ERMadLibs

Seven chapters into Rebel Seoul, Axie Oh finally introduces the giant robot war machines. In many ways, the book has gone against my expectations. There have been a few uneven moments, but it‘s fast-paced. I‘m also intrigued by the world building. I‘m eager to see what kind of arc Axie Oh plans for Jaewon. It reads like an anime. #RebelSeoul #AxieOh #scifi #youngadult #YA

I‘m excited to finally place Axie Oh‘s Rebel Seoul on my “Currently Reading” list. This book has been on my radar and my shelf for a long while and looks so damn fun! Fingers crossed. It also gets me going full steam ahead with my list for the Eclectic Readers Mad Libs Reading Challenge. #ERMadLibs #SciFi #YA #youngadult #AxieOh #RebelSeoul

Got some much-wanted book mail today. Can‘t wait to dig into these two books. Both sound freaking amazing.
