3.0

Fast-paced, interesting, and witty. Cho proves with this novella why well-written characters and banter that amuses; encased in a story of a country clutched in the hand of a war that threatens their way of life and beliefs can be just as rewarding as a novel. 
Throw in bands of rebels who play both sides, others who fight in the shadow for freedom, and action that is propulsive and addictive, you get a tale that holds the attention from start to finish, with a twist that was as surprising as it was satisfying.
