I have a hard time rating this book. It gets 5 stars because it did what it wanted to do extremely well. But it’s not an *enjoyable* read. I don’t mean because the plot is boring, it’s badly written, anything like that. In fact it’s extremely hard to put down and written well. But what this book wants to do and what it does well is show the horrors of war. The danger of seeing your enemies as less than human. The futility of revenge and anger and how it makes everything worse in the end. You may hate the main character but you can track along with her mindset and why she makes the decisions she does.
It’s a rough read. Every violent tw I can thing of happens in this book. It does not hold back. But if you can stomach the gruesomeness, it’s very successful at it’s points. Don’t read this expecting a light hearted military fantasy. Read this expecting to cover your face or mouth with one hand, turning the page with another, and reading with one eye between your fingers.
