American War by Omar El Akkad
4.5
challenging dark reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
This one felt like a study guide for the next few decades. Or months. Whatever. 

This is a powerful story—timely, poignant, and beautifully written. 
A bit slow to start and I was confused at some points by the worldbuilding, but still a solid read.
