Seventeen-year-old Ana is a scoundrel by nurture and an outlaw by nature. Found as a child drifting through space with a sentient android called D09, Ana was saved by a fearsome space captain and the grizzled crew she now calls family. But D09—one of the last remaining illegal Metals—has been glitching, and Ana will stop at nothing to find a way to fix him.

Ana’s desperate effort to save D09 leads her on a quest to steal the coordinates to a lost ship that could offer all the answers. But at the last moment, a spoiled Ironblood boy beats Ana to her prize. He has his own reasons for taking the coordinates, and he doesn’t care what he’ll sacrifice to keep them.

When everything goes wrong, she and the Ironblood end up as fugitives on the run. Now their entire kingdom is after them—and the coordinates—and not everyone wants them captured alive.

What they find in a lost corner of the universe will change all their lives—and unearth dangerous secrets. But when a darkness from Ana’s past returns, she must face an impossible choice: does she protect a kingdom that wants her dead or save the Metal boy she loves?


This book is so many things. Excellent and genius and so much fun. Sarcastic and smart and well-executed. Heartfelt and rebellious and UNCALLED FOR in the way it made me fall so fast in love with the characters before tormenting them cruelly. I loved everything, and everyone, (except for you, Rasovant), and every single line in every chapter. The writing is honestly beautiful, and every character stands out, and why would the author DO THAT to Di (I am not over it - either of the two huge, uncalled for Its that happened to my precious angel of a Metal - and I will not be for a while.)

One of my favourite books this year. I need MORE.

5+ stars
