Rezension von Sarah Stöckle3.5 Stars I have read better Sci-Fi, and worse Sci-Fi. I really enjoyed the elements of rage in this book, and also, the romance was adorable. But sometimes, it got a little too repetitive. Still an enjoyable read tho :))
Rezension von Virginia[3.75 stars] so. i think if i'd have come across 'gearbreakers' some two or three years earlier, i would have absolutely adored every part of this book and its characters,, however, i'm unfortunately (?) no longer 14, so from my current standpoint, though, i do have a few qualms with this book — of course though as well as things i loved reading about: 1. the characters and their interactions were written in such a way that felt almost overly naive in that they were soo 'feral' and 'rabid', and the dialogue ended up being filled with overly dramatic "badass" one-liners, but rather ended up making it all seem a bit stilted and unnatural imo (as a fanfiction reader, it felt like this book was heavyy on the fan-service, which isn't necessarily a bad thing! but it just isn't great taking away light from genuine happenings) 1.2. however, i did really enjoy how the dynamics of the mcs having-the-weight-of-the-world-on-their-shoulders versus them in reality being very young and still kids and in reality being very scared but having (trying) to fight that fear 1.3. another point i did find interesting was the exploration of sona's character in the sense of 'i dont care if i die, as long as im not godolia's property' changing to 'i'm scared to die because now i have people and a home to come back to' 2. however, i did find that, especially in reference to the fight scenes, or the generally more action-packsd montages, the actual description of 'what is going on???' sort of got lost inbetween the exaggerated-badass-moves/one-liners and character dialogue, in addition to the overly detailed descriptions of insignificant things (which i dont hate obvi, as longg as i can still follow the plot!) -> which generally lead to the actual important descriptions of 'wtf is happening right now??' and 'hold on, how did we get here?' ending up neglected — also in combination with the scenes in question being over so fast that by the time you've started to comprehend who did what and so on, the mcs have, somehow, already won the battle (?) all in all though, this book really did have some heart-warming bits and aspects, e.g. eris and sona, who i loooved, but in general i kept waiting for the writing in the rest of the book to live back up to the level of very first chapter, and unfortunately ended up disappointed, except for the bits and pieces of great writing found in between every few chapters,,, soooo. as i've said, i genuinely just think this book reached me too late, and so i just couldn't enjoy it as much as i could have, if it had,, and for those reasons, my 3.75 stars stand (though no one is reading these reviews anyway so i can really just say anything i guess?)
