думала, что после первого тома меня тяжело удивить жестью, но, нет, еще есть от чего содрогаться. надеюсь, третья часть не разочарует

chelibrary's review against another edition

I think this series does a good job with capturing the chaos and ruthlessness of war + imperfect humans… but not in a manner that makes me interested in continuing.

Its a great read but it feels a bit like the connection book of the trio. It isnt really working towards a climax but more like constant war with a plottwist at the end, leading to book 3
