This book carries you along, and while it's a quick read it slowly and carefully reveals the story at hand. While Elfangor's death was an incredible tragedy that shook the kids to the point of being something that they carried with them constantly, while the story starts out with his anguished cries, while detailed and despairing it still doesn't completely reveal everything about to come. That's saved for the yeerk pool.
No glory in battle, only tragedy and hope for a day when all is well.

This is a series about war, and this is a series about child soldiers. It doesn't pull any punches on those themes or anything related to them. This will go for all 62 books in the series.
