Gamora & Nebula: Sisters in Arms

This was overall not really my cup of tea tbh–this kind of sci-fi story isn't necessarily something I'd be drawn to. But I like these characters and I like Mackenzi's other books so I checked it out. I think it is a great insight into Gamora and Nebula's relationship and I looooved the little bits of Grandmaster cameo. I think readers who are more into exploring these characters' trauma are going to enjoy this, also readers who like a more...traditional? ish? sci-fi story.

(Reread 12/05/23) 3.5/5. It's always fun when the Universal Church of Truth are involved. And Gamora and Nebula's story/backstory continues to be just so damn SAD. A who's who of gotg antagonists show up (the aforementioned church, a certain cosmic elder and also the big guy himself, Thanos) and Gamora and Nebula's relationship is well drawn.

In a lot of ways this reads like a YA book, and as someone who is not into YA, I had niggles. I did think that the duo decided to work together too quickly. It's also written in some nebulous time period where the events of Gamora (2017) didn't happen or haven't happened? Never ever try and make sense of gotg timelines I suppose. It's all about picking and choosing what you like and ignoring everything else.

I did like this book. Worthwhile if you're a fan of the characters, though not necessarily required reading.
