（Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC in exchange for review through Edelweiss。 Trigger warning for gratuitous violence。）Set in a near dystopian future where a fascist movement known as the Machine rules， Kali is the leader of an all-woman motorcycle gang。 The Matrikas are one of many rebel groups resisting assimilation - or actively fighting it。 That is， until a violent coup ends with Kali stabbed in the back， wandering the desert wasteland and， eventually， poisoned and captured by the Mach （Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC in exchange for review through Edelweiss。 Trigger warning for gratuitous violence。）Set in a near dystopian future where a fascist movement known as the Machine rules， Kali is the leader of an all-woman motorcycle gang。 The Matrikas are one of many rebel groups resisting assimilation - or actively fighting it。 That is， until a violent coup ends with Kali stabbed in the back， wandering the desert wasteland and， eventually， poisoned and captured by the Machine's army。 She's got just twenty-four hours to live - but she's determined to make the most of it， by taking down as many turncoats as possible。 Even if one of them is her literal sister。 KALI is a stylish， action-packed story that's sadly lacking in much substance （assuming that this isn't the first volume in a series， anyway）。 The world-building is pretty minimal; for example， we don't learn a whole lot about the Machine， how it came to be， etc。 （unless we're simply meant to extrapolate from current events - which， given the group's Nazi-esque vibe， isn't a stretch）。 The story arc involving Kali's seeming amnesia， followed by the "big reveal，" feels almost anti-climactic， which is strange given the divergence of everyone's realities。 The artwork has a gritty， MAD MAX vibe， and while the narrative aims for the same， it does fall a bit short。 Still， a wild enough ride。 。。。more

trigger warning（view spoiler）[ gore， torture， grief， trauma， mention of slavery （hide spoiler）]Kali has a mission: Revenge。Post apocalyptic setting in a desert setting， with women being badass - that's where the Mad Max: Fury Road comparison comes into play。 This time， a publisher did not chose to make false advertisement by exaggerated comparisons。The plot is simple but I was promised action， and I expected this kind of plot， so I don't really have anything to complain on that front。 What I al trigger warning（view spoiler）[ gore， torture， grief， trauma， mention of slavery （hide spoiler）]Kali has a mission: Revenge。Post apocalyptic setting in a desert setting， with women being badass - that's where the Mad Max: Fury Road comparison comes into play。 This time， a publisher did not chose to make false advertisement by exaggerated comparisons。The plot is simple but I was promised action， and I expected this kind of plot， so I don't really have anything to complain on that front。 What I also liked was that no ridiculous measures were being taken on the women's clothing: They are being sexy by wearing tank tops and jeans， drawing the reader's attentions to their hips by adding pockets。 One can never have enough of those。This is not innovative or new， but what it does it does really， really well。 If you're in the mood for a fast-paced bloodbath， look no further。The arc was provided by the publisher。 。。。more
