Welcome to Litsy!

Interesting concept - soldier fighting invincible alien invaders who gets stuck in a time loop. He repeats the same day, the same battle, and as he repeats it he becomes a better soldier. Then he meets The Valkyrie, the Full Metal Bitch, a heroic soldier who is stuck in her own loop. They hope to figure out how to break the cycle.

Saw this on BookRiot‘s best sci-fi list based on Goodreads ratings.
With a title like that, I was interested immediately. Ran to the library! 🏃‍♀️

An #OwnVoices #Japanese #Cyberpunk novel that's sensationally fast-paced & gripping about a boy who's stuck reliving the same day over and over again, trapped in a terrible war with an alien race. With the help of a fierce CO & using mechanised body suits, it's up to him to stop the cycle and save the world from doom. I loved this!! One of my all-time favourite sci-fi novels ever!!

This book exceeded my expectations for sure. I think I would have rated it higher if it were a plot that I was generally more into. But that is solely based off personal preference alone. If you're into war books, or alien sci fi then give this book a go. I don't think you'll be disappointed! 👾🔫

Branching out on this one and going solely off a recommendation from a coworker. Not something I would generally pick up myself, but excited to venture out into the literary unknown for a few 👽

While it was the inspiration for Edge of Tomorrow the book is actually quite different in tone and execution. What would happen to you if you had to fight the same losing battle over and over again. Definitely worth the time to read.
