About this listen

Bravery isn't what you do. It's what you endure.

The duke of the powerful House Hauteclare is the first to die. With my dagger in his back.

He didn't see it coming. Didn't anticipate the bastard daughter who was supposed to die with her mother—on his order. He should have left us with the rest of the Station's starving, commoner rubbish.

Now there's nothing left. Just icy-white rage and a need to make House Hauteclare pay. Every damn one of them. Even if it means riding Heavenbreaker—one of the few enormous machines left over from the War—and jousting against the fiercest nobles in the system.

Each win means another one of my enemies dies. And here, in the cold terror of space, the machine and I move as one, intent on destroying each adversary—even if it's someone I care about. Even if it's someone I'm falling for.

Only I'm not alone. Not anymore. Because there's something in the machine with me. Something horrifying. Something...more. And it won't be stopped.

Contains mature themes.

I absolutely loved this book! It was such a ride seeing how everything was playing out with different pov's and learning the truth about the steeds, and so much more. I can't wait for the next book.

Best book I've read this year

really liked the originality of the medieval mingled with Sci fi. I can't wait for it to become a movie or series!

the theme

The narrator mispronounced and misread words throughout the audiobook. I also have the Kindle version of the book, so it was easy to see the difference between the text and what was read aloud. The worst & most common was the word “sigil,” which the narrator pronounced with a hard g instead of correctly, with a soft g (saying sih-gul instead of sih-jul). Given that all the noble houses in the story are identified by their sigils the constant mispronunciation was jarring and took me out of the story every single time. “Sigil” isn’t an uncommon word in sci-fi and fantasy-based fiction—why hire a narrator who doesn’t know the genre well enough to pronounce basic words? Other errors (for example, saying “ineligible” when the text says “illegible”) changed the meaning of sentences, sometimes enough that they didn’t make sense. The production needed much better quality control.

Story Ruined by Multiple Mispronunciations

Very predictable, didn’t get good till about 2/3rd through the book. Then to be left on a cliff hanger

Overall 3/5

The book is absolutely fantastic. The world is vibrant, the characters have depth, the writing is beautiful. I would recommend this even to those (like myself.. until now) who don’t necessarily always enjoy space or science fiction themes. I am anxiously awaiting the next in the series. The only thing I was displeased with was the narrator. Although her voice is beautiful and she gives enough variation and in the voices of the characters, throughout the book she makes numerous errors, not only in reversing some words’ order to how they are written in the book, but saying entirely different words altogether. At one point she says “concrete” instead of “corporate” and this is very disappointing. But READ THE BOOK. It’s truly wonderful in every way.

Five stars… with one exception

There is almost no romance and what little there is feels forced. It would have been better without it. Liked the idea though. Will be reading the next one.

How is this Romantasy?

The book had great potential and a great idea! I just didn’t understand the book. I loved the main character! The fight scenes were very drawn out.
