This book had endearing characters, a more interesting and complex theme and a better plot overall. Some of the plot devices didn’t make sense or took me out of the story, but overall pretty good.

Beyond that though, I loved the humanisation of everyone: War's transformation felt gradual and believable; the baddies (War's men) had sweetness and bitterness too; and Zara felt nuanced and realistic. I also loved that there was a different setting for this (like there will be in Famine), and how the past conflicts of those areas added to War's power.
