Review
There a lot of action, political turmoil, and ethical discussions about organic mechs. Able is constantly questioning his motives that surround his developing relationship with Noemi. In the course of the story, we conclude what Mansfield’s goal with Able was and how his daughter has carried on his legacy. The technology that a human soul or essence can be moved into a mech and making them almost human may save humanity in the end. The ending on this one is a cliffhanger that may crush your soul or may have you questioning where exactly this is all going. The creativity of this series is so unique and the underlying romance makes for a very compelling series.
