Review: Sisters of Mercy

Sisters of Mercy by Yuval Kordov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This 4.5-star review is a fair representation of my experience.

The premise is that there is a mysterious quasi religious order who is raising girls to be embedded in a sort of android/mech. The mechanical body protects them from harm (mostly) while their consciousness and vital organs ride along. They roam in a dystopian wasteland hunting the remnants of a conflict fought ages ago.

It was a thrilling ride as the new "Sister" was being trained by an older "Sister". Discovering the things that haunt fallen cities and military bases. How to hunt them. How to kill them. Learning about the secure waystations used by the Sisters to rearm and recover from prior battles. Ultimately finding and defeating a relic of the old war.

My only complaint is that this is a novelette. That means that there are plenty of world building details that have been omitted.

I'm inclined to read the mainline Dark Legacies series by the same author.
