Gamora & Nebula

The second book in the hit series from New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee! This three-book series explores the untapped potential and duality of heroism of popular characters in the Marvel Universe. The first book in these series, Loki: wehre Mischief Lies, was an instant New York Times best seller and received two starred reviews. Gamora arrives on Torndune--a once-lush planet that has been strip-mined for the power source beneath its surface--with a mission: collect the heart of the planet. She doesn't know who sent her, why they want it, or even what the heart of a planet looks like. But as the right hand and daughter of Thanos, and one of the galaxy's most legendary warriors, her job is not to ask questions. Her job is to do what she's told, no matter the cost. What she doesn't know is that her sister Nebula is in hot pursuit. Nebula has followed Gamora to Torndune in hopes of claiming the planet's heart first and shaming her sister as vengeance for the part she played in Nebula losing her arm. While Gamora falls in with a group of miners attempting to overthrow the tyrannical mining corporation that controls their lives, Nebula allies herself with the Universal Church of Truth, whose missionaries wait on every street corner to recruit more followers and tithes for the Matriarch. Both sisters hope their alliance will give them access to one of the massive diggers capable of drilling to the center of the planet. But the closer they get to the heart of the planet--and to each other--the closer they get to uncovering the truth of what brought them there and the role they may unknowingly be playing in a twisted competition with galactic consequences. A competition they can never win . . . unless they learn to trust each other. And trust is the biggest lie in the galaxy.

Sisters in Arms

Gamora and Nebula

I have been dying for a storyline involving Gamora and Nebula for so long so naturally I was drawn to this. Nebula has been my favorite in the guardians series so it was nice to get more of how she thinks and feels. Tough exterior but soft inside. Nuturing and brave. So much pain inside her heart but it doesn’t stop her from loving again. 

Gamora is strong and wise only when it comes to battle. She’s a great soldier but rarely takes a moment to think about whether or not it’s worth the fight. She’s far more shut down and isolated so it was surprising to see her open up to Nebula and share memories from their childhood that they both cherished equally. 

So, in this story Gamora accepts a mission that is not given to her by Thanos. She is sent to retrieve the heart of a poisoned planet called Torndune. The air there is barely breathable with a ventilator. Nebula follows seeking revenge for her lost limb that she believes Gamora is responsible for. When the two collide they discover they are stronger together but can they learn to trust each other? Will they let the manipulation and lies of Thanos come between them?

Gamora has been sent to retrieve the heart of the planet, Torndune. Little does she know that her sister, Nebula has followed her there in order to claim the heart of the planet first as revenge for Gamora causing the loss of her arm, but there are other forces at work on this planet that also want the heart for their own purposes. In addition, the Grandmaster has his own agenda and is working with a mysterious guest in a game that is sure to have dire consequences. Can Nebula and Gamora learn to trust each other enough in order to survive this deadly game?

Gamora and Nebula: Sisters in Arms clearly takes place before the events of the movie, Guardians of the Galaxy. Lady Death, who is an important figure in the comics makes an appearance here in this story as well as Thanos. The characters are not well defined in this story, but that can be forgiven, as these characters are already well known from movies and comics. The story is fast paced with lots of action and adventure as well as some political intrigue with a few twists and turns. Overall, Gamora and Nebula: Sisters in Arms is a satisfying story, especially for fans of the movies and comics.
