3.5

I can see why a lot of people would rate this 5 stars. I give 3.5 because I hate war and this was very heavy on the action. But it’s about a war college and it was expected. 

Also I was recovering from surgery when I started the book and there was a ton of emphasis on detailed injuries

for the torture-heal-torture cycle that

and I had to take a break from reading for a few weeks. Probably would have rated it higher if I wasn’t! Probably the worst part of this book! 

First book was better but I hated this ending. I’m so mad but overall enjoyed the journey. Will still read the third book!
