A really satisfying conclusion, I'm so glad I stumbled on these books. I loved the cast of characters in all their messy and complicated nuance, and the way the story is told from such a variety of perspectives worked so well. It's not a YA duology, but I'd give it to teen fans of The Disasters by M.K. England with some content warnings and a head's up that it was written with an adult audience in mind.
Graphic: Violence and War
Moderate: Confinement, Death, Blood, and Medical content
