So I read the first part of the trilogy.
The first half of the book was a bit weird to read. Those children were involved in so many violent and sexual situations. The boys' morals seemed completely inconsistent. I mean from one extreme to the other...
In the latter half of the book I started to like the story and characters more, and I liked the direction the book took. How the boys' family relationships developed, and the scene in the minefield, oh...! The book ended with a real cliffhanger. I am very interested in reading the other parts of the trilogy as well.
