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.

Review of 'Heart of iron' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Beside this being an Anastasia retelling, it is especially a star wars copy. There were so many similarities, that I basically had the film scenes in my head. It's an okay book, but they shouldn't have made a series out of it. Even if the characters are nice and entertaining, the story feels empty, with nothing happening.
The LGBT representation but I can't say much about it (although falling in love with an AI is quite weird, still)
All in all there was not much special about the book or the story and it doesn't really feel worth enough to continue.
