I really like the pacing of the book. It a good medium-pace and it never feels too fast or too slow and also everything that happens has some kind of relevance. One thing I really liked about the writing is that the author is able to convey what is going to happen in a way it feels like you figure it out on your own. There aren't any super sudden plot twists but not because the book is boring but because the writer kind of lets the situation dawn on you. Also the writing really keeps you on a short leash? Like it makes sure that you get the right feelings and thoughts to tie this story together. And for such a story which is mainly about stuff like death and suicide it feels like a very good read. It isn't heavy on your shoulders or makes you super sad all the time. It's a really interesting story that keeps you hooked.

Didn't catch me after reading over 100 pages. Sometimes the switch bewteen the people confused me and overall I don't enjoy war settings.
