This was a really great entry in the series. The main focus of this book (beyond the plot) is on the ethical dilemmas that the main characters face, as well as the ethical dilemmas of war in general. It introduces the idea of a different type of society and explores non-violent options, while also recognizing how complicated choosing non-violence can be when met with violent forces. Very nuanced book.

At the start the book struggled to hold my interest but quickly got better.

See, I get why people thought these books must be so stupid. I see this cover, of a boy turning into a spider in the goofiest way possible, and I get it. And then I read the book and it's a horrifying view into the trauma of perpetuating violence and I sort of want to scream.
