3.5 Star
Content warning. There
is a scene where the main character is raped.
It isn’t discussed in detail, but you know she is raped by her injuries.
Joan is the battle stations’ first female engineer and no
one is happy about her being on the ship.
She is assigned to maintain a cyborg who had killed other
engineers. She is determined to do her
best to serve Rage no matter what his request is. Rage and the other cyborgs are planning on
running away as they are tired of being military fodder when he is assigned a
new engineer. The new engineer wants to make his life and the other cyborgs
life easier and it makes him question whether they should be leaving her behind
when they run.
There is a whole lot of alpha male in this book. The cyborgs have some really good reasons to
be bitter, but they also take their anger out on the one person who was trying
to help them and that frustrated me. One
of my biggest issues was Joan. She was
literally unscathed by her gang rape and was ready for sex with Rage immediately
after it happened. She also was kind of
stupid. She was raised on a farm and yet
didn’t understand that when her appetite increased, and belly started to get bigger
she must have caught a parasite from Rage…not that she was pregnant. They also never questioned if the baby was
Rage’s even though she had just been gang raped. Overall, the righting was there, and I am
interested in reading more by this author she just needs to flesh out her
stories. As well as do some world building.
