A review by b0nehunter
Gunmetal Gods by Zamil Akhtar

Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.

I wanted to like this book so badly..so badly. The cover is SO cool — and it promised so much.

• The main complaint is the verbiage and sentence writing style. He. writes. sentences. like. this. It is extremely choppy
• Some of the wording was just dumb — “I turned left. I turned right. I turned around.” You couldn’t have just…said you looked around ??
• Not to be such a stickler but cutting off the horses’ ears DOES NOT STOP THEM FROM HEARING — that is the pinna. Unless you are sealing up the canal completely then why cut the pinna off? You think taking away the senses from a naturally flighty animal would just..stop them from reacting to external stimuli? 
• The women in this book existed only to be sexualized and gazed upon. I’m not sure why writing women is so hard for men authors, but it seems like an impossible feat
