Synopsis:(from GoodReads)

Seventeen-year-old Ana is a scoundrel by nurture and an outlaw by nature.

Found as a child drifting through space with a sentient android called D09, Ana

was saved by a fearsome space captain and the grizzled crew she now calls family.

But D09—one of the last remaining illegal Metals—has been glitching, and Ana will

stop at nothing to find

a way to fix him.

Rating: 4/ 5

I truly enjoyed this book, not one of my typical reads but definitely a good read.

Set into a different world where robots are a thing and people are segregated by their

class.  I like how we don’t get a back story on Ana till later in the book, when her past

starts to surface. A girl who has barely any clue of who she is and is fiercely protective

of DO9, a now illegal metal found with her as a child. An Ironblood boy of the upper class,

gets ahold of the coordinates Ana is desperately after to save DO9. Robb, the ironblood who

ends up going to the coordinates with Ana and her crew of misfits, is after them because of

his father’s sudden disappearance and death seven years ago. Then there is Jax the pilot of

Ana’s crew and Robb’s love interest.

Erik, Robb’s older brother is about to be appointed emperor, but a few things change that.

Robb believes Ana to be the long lost Princess Ananke Armorov, the true heir to the crown

and his cousin. Turns out he was right.
