The pacing is flawless. The story moves quickly, but never feels rushed, with each scene flowing seamlessly into the next. The action sequences are so vividly described and expertly narrated that I could practically see them playing out in my mind like a high-budget sci-fi film. The tension builds perfectly, with moments of quiet introspection balanced by explosive, edge-of-your-seat confrontations.

left for dead for quite a few years, but is thankfully seeing something of a resurgence. As we
come to the years when the Cyberpunk of the 80’s was set in, it’s fun seeing what came true
and what didn’t. With Behind Blue Eyes, we get to see a bit further down the road, in a
Cyberpunk world set in a time where nations have fallen, and everything is controlled by three
Mega-Corporations set up in various mega-cities in the ruins of the old world. This very
cyberpunk world has all the social inequities you’d expect, with the haves and have-nots very
much separated. The propaganda machine and societal changes ensure obedience, as a
very modern form of bread and circuses has developed. And just behind the scenes in the
mega-city of Olympias are the Angels, the not so mythical cyborg enforcers of order in the
regime.
This is where Nephilim and her fellow angels come in. Nephilim is a ruthless agent of the
regime, the perfect assassin and soldier, equally adept at disappearing dissidents and fighting
cyborgs from rival mega-corps. She is the perfect tool of the order, ready for greater things,
including being made an Archangel, one of the leaders of the cyborg soldiers. Perfect, that is,
until a freak encounter with another cyborg send Nephilim on a path she couldn’t ever have
seen coming, as she is given something no other Angel has: A choice. A choice to continue
being a weapon in the service of Olympias or going her own path, and this choice has
consequences for not only her, but for Olympias and the greater world in general.
The protagonist can only be as good as the villains they are fighting against, and in this case,
Nephilim has not only rival corporation’s cyborgs to deal with, but also Metatron, the leader of
the Angels, and the biggest threat to Nephilim if she goes off the rails of her pre-planned life.
He is such a well thought out character, always seeming a step ahead, always that menace
that holds the sword of Damocles over all their heads, ready to remove those heads if they fail
to comply. Nephilim plays off his menace well, and you can only hope as the story goes that
she is able to find a way out from under his seemingly all-seeing gaze.
This new breed of cyberpunk plays homage to the classics by writers like William Gibson, but
goes in it’s own distinct direction, never feeling derivative. It’s got those interesting
speculations about what the fairly near future will hold, and you can tell the author put a lot of
effort into creating a world the reader can become immersed in, and will definitely have some
interesting possibilities in future stories. I can see this story appealing to fans of traditional
cyberpunk, and fans of sci-fi in general. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
A fantastic cyberpunk adventure.

**Original review below
Stilted dialogue and way too many moments that break my immersion.
The dialogue is so contrived and stilted, it feels like a high school English class paper. the MC went from hardcore killer to betraying everything in a matter of paragraphs. it happened so fast, I have some neck pains from the whiplash.
I just can't finish the book. the story does have promise, I just can't get past the dialogue and MCs abrupt change everything.

The story circles around a dystopian city in a post-apocalyptic, Machavellian future where corporations run the North and South American continents, where super-enhanced cyborgs maintain order. There's intrigue and mayhem and technology that won't disappoint the fans of the genre. I liked the action and storyline, which I won't spoil here, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Great Cyberpunk!

I mention these prolific works because Behind Blue Eyes by Anna Mocikat is the ONLY modern-day cyberpunk that stands equally with these great works. The 90s was the end of the golden era of cyberpunk, but Mocikat has brought all of it back and more with Behind Blue Eyes.
Unlike several other works by the authors I mentioned earlier, Behind Blue Eyes is a remarkably well-thought-out story arc. The author has obviously spent copious amounts of time and paid meticulous detail to the plot and world-building of her stories. I have not encountered any plot holes, areas of suspension of disbelief, or eye-rolling "plot armor" for a main character.
Everything that takes place in the novels stays true to the rules set up for this dystopian cyberpunk future. All the characters act in a way that is logical and consistent within their character design and profile. None of the characters feel like marionette puppets, clumsily maneuvered due to lazy writing or the need to force a plot device or event to unfold.
Each of the main characters unfolds and develops as the story progresses. Initial impressions are quickly revealed to be classic case studies of why one should not judge a book by its cover. The characters develop into far more profound, complex, and nuanced beings as the story progresses and they are exposed to new opportunities, temptations, and shifting goals.
To reiterate, Behind Blue Eyes is far and away the most well-reasoned, developed, visionary, and engaging cyberpunk series of the last 24 years.
