So exciting and compelling! Basically this is the book that made me be like, oh, sci-fi/fantasy is my jam, I should seek that out. It's a total page-turner with neat world-building, a really cool look at childhood and friendship and militarism. Most classic last-minute surprise twist of all time, for my money. Unfortunate that the author is a homophobic turd -- get used/from your local library, if at all possible.
