Dawnrunner by Ram V.
"I'm not the biggest fan of mech/kaiju stories - the stories feel very samey to me, with only tiny evolutions in storytelling ideas. Ram V doesn't add much either, sadly. All of it feels like you've seen or read it somewhere else before. I think the book could've benefitted from a sharper focus, probably on the intermingling of the main character and the mech's organic OS.

Then the pacing goes nuts in the last part, ending with a page long expositionary epilogue in text. Was this supposed to be an ongoing series and then cancelled?

The art is very nice.. but the battle scenes were more or less unreadable to me. I had no idea what was happening.

2.5 stars

(Thanks to Dark Horse Books for providing me with a review copy through Edelweiss)"
