Rezension von keni wish my eyes did not land on the phrase "Mad Max but set in space" when i glanced at this book's acknowledgement page because something about that phrase affected my reading experience - and not entirely in a good way. i suppose it's because i don't have that much of a strong emotional connection to Mad Max as a concept that using it as a comp title wasn't effective. the story had a bit of a slow start but that cannot be helped - most space operas do. the climb of the rising action after the turning point was arguably the best part, because of skillful weaving of present and backstory. if I'm being honest, the part that felt like downhill for me was when the man joined the fray, and this reminded me about something Andy Samberg said about "Portrait of a Lady on Fire." he <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/movies/andy-samberg-palm-springs.html">said</a>: <blockquote>You get lulled into this amazing space of there being no men for a long time... then a random guy does show up... Get him out of here. He's ruining the vibe."</blockquote> except, i guess, the man that showed up in Seven Devils was not a nothing character. Still, my patience towards men characters are scant enough as it is. also! still unsure whether i am pleased or mildly disappointed over the fact that the friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope that i was sure was telegraphed did not come to fruition. i like being wrong about tropes, but i still wanted to see more of Eris and Clo's relationship, whatever they may turn out to be.
