me when i started the first chapter:
me when i finished the first chapter: 👁️👄👁️

as someone that finished attack on titan, i couldn’t help but draw the similarities between the world in skyhunter and that. won’t lie— after seeing how much of the aot plot was revealed by the time marie lu could’ve started writing, there are a lot of parallels, but i couldn’t feel them by the time i was well into the book.

another weird bit of context for my read (i’m treating this more as a journal entry now lol), i picked this up to fill the hole in my heart that was left by xiran jay zhao’s iron widow…and i hate to say that this was a far more enjoyable read (still love the book though.) marie lu writes some captivating action sequences and gives us a lot more time to enjoy and get to know our characters in this book.

i’m likely going to immediately pick up steelstriker because im hooked
