This was a really hard book to get through.
This is not a book one should go into blindly. It is rough, and terrible. Well written, but heartbreaking in a way I have not experienced in a book before this.
I cannot stress it enough, read the trigger warnings before reading this, and prepare for the unfiltered horrors of war.
