Undoubtedly done by the author who would go on to write The Hunger Games. The themes of war and its effect on children were very clear, even for a middle grade book. Emotional, a bittersweet ending, and satisfying in its own way.

I read this book for the first time when I was 10 or 12 and it still makes me cry over 10 years later. The last 1/4 of the book is nonstop heartbreaking action and the kind of bittersweetness that a 12 year old has no idea how to process. This book, without a doubt, has stuck with me more than any other. I feel sick reading that last page every single time.

I enjoyed this series more than I expected. I found the ending kind of depressing. I think this series provides children with probably the best and most thorough explanation of war and it's implications. I'm not sure kids would feel so... disheartened with it as I did. Very engaging.

Siento que el final me dejó a deber un poco y que le faltó un epilogo, PERO todo el desarrollo de personajes, los conflictos y la narración lo compensan sobremanera. Fue fantástico. Increíble. Asombroso. No creí que esta saga me fuera a gustar tanto como lo hizo, pero la disfruté enormemente.

Tanto que incluso lloré por la "muerte" de una rata.

En fin, vale por completo leer toda la saga incluso si no se es alguien de 12 años.
