It's hard to say much about this book without spoiling something because there's so mant intense twists and turns. That being said, I CAN say that there's giant fighting robots and the intersectional destruction of gender roles, which is a combination the world needs more of. Additionall, while there is a fair share of violence, none of it feels gratitous or needless; it feels both justified and like it pays off in the end. 

cw: gender based descrimination, graphic depictions of violence, abuse
