A rough draft of a good idea published too soon as an okay story
I like kaiju. I like Gundam. Nuclear Knights has the elements for a great story. Unfortunately, despite good (and frequent) action sequences, this book is a rough draft. It was a cool premise of armored warriors saving the planet from massive beasts, but too many issues plague it. I wanted to give it at least three stars, but my conscience wouldn't let me. First, professional editing is needed. I gave up keeping track of the typos and formatting issues. The author would have two or three speakers in the same paragraph. It became a chore to keep track of who was speaking. The dialogue was often odd. It was too practical and full of exposition. The stakes were too high for the logical approach by every character. "And" was used far too often as a conjunction, usually without a comma. Like I said, a rough draft. If you need more proof, here's a line:
"Thunderous footsteps that echoed like thunder." Clearly redundant.
Finally, the names were too generic. We have outlanders, space dwellers, and sand raiders throughout. I reaffirm there's a good story hidden in the rough, but a ton more polish was needed.
