"Who wouldn't?" Khiruev said. "The day we stop having second thoughts is the day we've lost."

"Pretty words," Brezan said, "but they won't do a damn thing for the people who die."

This book wrecked me, and I think the multiple POVs really come together and let you see the full landscape of sadness. I struggled a lot with the momentum of the 2nd and 3rd books, but ultimately I love seeing characters through different perspectives, and I loved that they each had different principles and philosophies and behaved accordingly. I'm not sure I understood the plot of this series but I loved the internal consistency. And even though the writing can sometimes feel clinical, the emotional impact really gets through.
