Again, one of the best books I've ever read in the most painful way possible. My heart aches for Rin and Kitay and Nezha and all of the children in this book who were forced to grow up too fast because of the endless suffering they experienced in the war. Rin is too trusting, but I can't blame her for that when she is a teenage girl who has been let down by every important figure in her life and is desperately searching for something to cling to.
