I really enjoyed this book and it made me want to learn more about the history that the book is based off of. I enjoyed the strong female representation and resilience of the main character and her refusing to give in and that she kept her morals throughout the book. However at the same time, I feel like there is character development both with her and several of the other characters while she's still remains true to her roots. So good character development while staying true to themselves. 

I'm also not a big fan of mech stories, but this held my interest throughout and I found myself wanting to continue this story and find out what happened. 

Please do rig to your warnings before reading this book. But overall I did enjoy.
