A monster, I think, remembering what Ben told me once. War makes monsters of men.
"Wrong," says the Mayor. "It's war that makes us men in the first place. Until there's war, we are only children."
Damn, this book wrecked me! I mean, it had me gasping and mad and also made me shed a tear or two, which I thought was impossible lol. I loved this one the most out of the whole trilogy, I think. Firstly, the way war itself was described by the author was incredible. There was no good or bad, no right or bad side, just a few sides with their own interests and being selfish even though the right thing would be to come together. I loved seeing how Todd and Viola grew so much and I loved Bradley's character. I wished I got to see some more of him and Simone, but oh well. Also, we got a third POV!
Moving on to why I think this was not a 5 star book. There are a few things that annoyed the heck out of me, for instance, Todd being so stupid and gullible and thinking that the Mayor was redeemable?!?
