4.5

obviously everything previously hasn't exactly been a walk in the park... but something about this installment was miserable—and by that I mean dark, depraved, emphasizing the worst part of war. the blatant disrepect for human life was neither under- nor overstated; it felt very real and very cruel, and it hurt to read about. And that ending?? man, this series does not let you breathe but I am LOVING it.

solid 4.5 out of 5, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
