I have some issues with the characterisation and progression of the story. The female characters in this book are not well-rounded human beings but shallow depictions of what (some) men think women are like. It all screams "I AM A MAN WRITING ABOUT WOMEN AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING". There are also long scenes purely about the details of different types of guns or whatnot and these get boring really fast.

At least something has happened at this point. Wouldn't mind the slow pace if the rest was interesting but it's filled with long-winded and irrelevant descriptions of how certain weapons work which is just... boring, regardless of who you are. This book has a strong "this is for men" vibe and it's... rather embarrassing. Naive writing style, too much repetition. Good premise spoiled by lack of experience/talent.
