A lot of things happen, and it happens quickly, but as I've mentioned in previous reviews for these books, sometimes the descriptions of things are a little lacking. At one point, a man goes down under a bayonet to save another, and I assumed, for all that has happened, that the first man was dead. No, a few chapters later, it is revealed that he in fact survived the fatal bayonet blow and recovered very well. Every single description regarding this man up until this point let me believe that he was dead. It was very unclear.
Laurence's life continues to fall apart in this book,
Every time I finish a book, I'm left with the feeling of "Well, where do they go from here?" and the next book brings something even worse for the reader.
I've got a bit of a wait before the next in the series is available, so we'll see what happens when I get there.
