I have mixed feelings. I had no idea what o was getting my self into when reading this book. In the first part I thought it would other trilogy involving an academy and I was in for it, but then the second part came and with it so did the war and it took such a dark and twisted turn. I could not have imagine what would happen on part three. I have never read a book this graphic and now I’m not sure I want to continue this series because it’s only getting started. I don’t know I’m confused. nevertheless, I never got bored reading, this author could tell me the story of a rock and I would think it’s the most interesting read ever
