Sometimes the plot felt a bit slow. The gratuity of war was very difficult to read, but I understand that they were all real events. Didn’t make it less challenging. I think if it had been a bit shorter I would have rated it more highly. Overall well written, but unfortunately too dark for me to complete the series.
