A thoroughly fun romp - I found myself really drawn to Will, the main character, and the many misfortunes that fall upon him. His relationship with Kim is fascinating and I can’t wait to read more about the two of them! The mystery was enjoyable, the witty banter between Will and Kim was delightful, and I don’t know about y’all but I LOVE a capable main lead. Onto the sequel!

There were parts of this book I really liked, and there were many parts that fell flat for me. I didn't like the intense focus on war which felt pro-war in some ways (Will's disapproval was very focused on a lack of support upon returning and not on the tragedy that is war as a whole). It was also tough to understand the lack of emotional reaction to Will just killing people?

This being said, Will and Kim are a fun dynamic together and Phoebe is a gem.
