This book is so intensely personal and is literally what happened to her, so it's difficult to rate, but I think the quality of the story telling is really inconsistent throughout the book. Despite the efforts to create a through line, it felt like two different books, and ultimately glossed over a lot of what I would have been more interested in about her pist-cult life in favor of relitigating disagreements, telling army stories, and praising the military industrial complex even as she calls it a cult.

This book was written in. Very boring way for how interesting the subject matter is. My time is limited and I tried my best but I need to move on to other books.

It has that particular blend of whimsey and darkness Terry Pratchett really was best at.
