Its a good book but very heavy on fighting making it a bit uneven for me at first, but as time wore on, I got used to it. This world is at full out war after all, so lots of fighting would be consistent. But the emotions seemed to be a bit absent throughout. It was described in a very clinical way. And while it fit with the world itself, I myself would have preferred to know how the characters were feeling with as much detail as the fighting.
Also, they stay in the same scene-ish since the beginning and its surprisingly not lame. I’ve read books that described every single time frame with no lapses and could not stand them. I find them too linear, even boring at times. But this one had a good level of description and action. So it more than made up for the linear timeline.
I love the detail during the fight scenes. I could picture each shot that was fired and hit that was struck. It flowed without taking me out of the story. Skye is a super soldier so she could do some pretty bad ass moves, and I loved how she could control how her body reacted to being hit. I can’t really go into all the cool shit she could do, but picture her as Agent Smith from The Matrix and you get the idea.
I will definitely be reading more but I need to take a break first, this writing style is wearing on me a bit.

Second book doesn’t slow down on action
So much action and activity in the first book but somehow there’s more action and fighting in the second story. Being educated by the people Skye surrounded herself with, Skye learns so much and falls in love not just with Brennen but with the people. Can Skye’s selflessness and being the #1 assassin help Brennen’s people and give her a chance of happiness and belonging?

Great read
Although it got a little wordy, the story stayed true to the beginning. I can’t wait to share with my grand kids.

If you are looking for a Sci-Fi/Dystopian book that is chock-full of action, then look no further. The amount of action in this book will leave you breathless as you travel with Skye as she tries to save the people she has grown to care for.
There isn't much of Skye and Brennan in this part, but trust me, there is so much else going on that you don't really miss it. Skye is such a strong character, I love her. She is prepared to put her neck on the line for what she believes in, even though it goes against everything she has been told her whole life. I love how she can already see the cracks in her society but just needs the back story for her to commit.
Exceptionally well-written, fast-paced and action-packed, this is a story to read, savour, and then go back and read again, just to make sure you didn't miss anything! Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended.

The Destroyer -Broken World 2
I was happy to note that yes, some of the mysteries from book one are resolved, but not all of them, so there is plenty of reasons to continue reading the series. It is non-stop action and a thrill ride you won't soon forget.

Excellent next book in 'Broken World'
Excellent action packed next book in the "Broken World" series. Can'T the main characters are well developed. Can't wait for the next book.
