devastating. characters are so well fleshed out, you really feel like you are living through the Nigerian war with them. the fear, tension, uncertainty mixed with grief, sorrow, and periods of hope… you can really sense when things are turning for the worse and you are constantly stressed out and hopeful that the characters will make it out okay. cried a LOT at the end.
