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.

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.
