This could also be called "unintended consequences of war". I love the multiple perspectives of characters in this trilogy. In the first trilogy we were seeing only through Darrow's view. I was honestly very sceptical of this, and I'm blown away by how much I adored it.
The tension, unintended consequences, love, bitterness, unknown truths, betrayal, twists, and as always the beautiful lyrical writing... Pierce Brown writes in a way that pulls you into this world and story. You see the world and feel the heart of even the darkest character. You can understand and empathize with the most treacherous decisions because you fully understand the heart and soul of a character.
I will always love this series. Highly recommend above all others.
