This book was absolutely incredible and I will sing it's praises to anyone who will listen! This is the book I needed as a teen, and I'm so glad young people will have it read now.
Graphic: Death, Physical abuse, Blood, Murder
Moderate: Misogyny, Physical abuse, Sexual assault, Death of parent
Minor: Rape, Sexual assault, Slavery, Torture, Excrement, Vomit
There are distressing themes in this book, but they are within context, handled well in the text, and to be expected for a book about young, female soldiers.
