a really unique take on war what-ifs. my only complaint is that rio is most definitely the main character, and having her have a lot more attention than her black and jewish counterparts feels off.
but for being a YA its very open with the realities of war, and not everyone is the perfect hero like the movies make them out to be. war is horrific, and this highlights it in a very understandable and consumable way.
upon further reflection the rating has been bumped because i cant stop thinking about this series and want to read it again.
