Ryza doesn't give a flux.
He's been conscripted to the ever-moving fortress known as Revance, but something needs to be fixed with operations, and Ryza is hellbent on figuring it out. I gotta say, this book captured me from the start!


My CAWPILE Scores:
Characters: 9/10 They live free in my head
Ryza is a reluctant hero who slips up, but he's such a cool character, flaws and all. I, of course, LOVE HOLM also.

Atmosphere: 14/14
breakdown
- setting: 10/10 Spot on world-building
- mood: 4/4 Felt all the Feels
This was a mashup of some of my favorite elements in science fiction, so this really hit the nail on the head for me. It was the perfect atmosphere. Chef kiss to making me scream at a character. Haven't done that in a hot minute.

Writing Style: 15/18
breakdown
- storytelling: 8/10 Very good storytelling
- grammar: 3/4 Some grammatical errors
- format: 4/4 No formatting issues
For the most part, the storytelling was engaging and easy to read.

Plot: 9/10 Different and I liked it
From the start, I was enthralled with the idea of a Mad Max + Howl's Moving Castle concept, and Weiss delivered so much more!

Intrigue: 13/14
breakdown
- overall: 9/10 Didn't want to put it down
- readability: 4/4 Gonna start a book club forum

Logic: 13/14
breakdown
- plot logic: 9/10 I understand and want more
- character logic: 4/4 Characters made sense
Even when I wanted to throttle some characters, they do make sense, lol

Excitement: 10/10 I'm in the exclusive fan group
EVERYONE GO OUT AND READ THIS OK? OK.
