3.5

The first third was so aggravating I nearly gave up. I can understand both why people hate and love it. I fall somewhere in the middle. The author seemed to struggle with consistency and clarity. The only reason I could follow anything was because of the revised map and an illustration explaining squad structure that was in the second book. I could tell this first book was rushed to publication. While I was able to see most of the plot twists coming they were still enjoyable. Battle sequences were fun. Romance is a delight. The dude characters we spend the most time with are loveable. It's exactly middle of the road for me. Lot of issues but lots of good components as well. I'll be reading the sequel if only to satisfy by curiosity.
