This book was excellently written. The story is really well done as well. However, this is also one of the most painful and gut wrenching books I have ever read, and I don’t mean that as a criticism of the book at all. But definitely read the content warnings, and know what you are going into. This book deals with a lot of triggers, including but not limited to: child soldiers, sexual abuse/rape, death of a parent, death of other friends and loved ones, being forced to kill, genocide, death of children, etc. You have been warned. That said, it was a very well written and engrossing story, and I definitely want to read the next one when it comes out.
