Gearbreakers

Gearbreakers, Book1

By: Zoe Hana Mikuta

Narrated by: Catherine Ho, Cindy Kay

Two girls on opposite sides of a war discover they're fighting for a common purpose - and falling for each other - in Zoe Hana Mikuta's high-octane debut Gearbreakers, perfect for fans of Pacific Rim, Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga, and Marie Lu's Legend series.

We went past praying to deities and started to build them instead....

The shadow of Godolia's tyrannical rule is spreading, aided by their giant mechanized weapons known as Windups. War and oppression are everyday constants for the people of the Badlands, who live under the thumb of their cruel Godolia overlords.

Eris Shindanai is a Gearbreaker, a brash young rebel who specializes in taking down Windups from the inside. When one of her missions goes awry and she finds herself in a Godolia prison, Eris meets Sona Steelcrest, a cybernetically enhanced Windup pilot. At first, Eris sees Sona as her mortal enemy, but Sona has a secret: She has intentionally infiltrated the Windup program to destroy Godolia from within.

As the clock ticks down to their deadliest mission yet, a direct attack to end Godolia's reign once and for all, Eris and Sona grow closer - as comrades, friends, and perhaps something more....

Praise for Gearbreakers:

"An absolute joyride of a story set in a vivid, arresting world. Gearbreakers is sci-fi at its very finest, combining the grandeur of mecha fighting machines with the intimacy of (splendidly feral) found family. Zoe Hana Mikuta is a talent to be in awe of." (Chloe Gong, New York Times best-selling author of These Violent Delights)

Good but feel like I missed things

While the story was fascinating and the characters were well worth, I had a hard time keeping my brain from wandering. The story telling in places gets patchy and makes it hard to follow. It jumps around and skips time.

Overall I enjoyed it but now I need to read the second one because that cliffhanger was not cool 😢

Vividly exciting and compelling!

I absolutely loved how this was written and the ability to be some completely transported and brought into the minds of the characters!

AAAAAAAAH

*deep breath*

a a a a a a A A A A A A A A A A H

that is all, thanks.

Feels like half a book.

The ending left this feeling like it was just the first half of the whole story. I liked the story, it just felt incomplete at the end.

It’s good

Good story, good voices, I’m not a review writer but that is fine, the book was good enough that I wished it was longer, romance was believable, the other characters mattered. I could visualize the mech fights like an old anime. Definitely recommend.
