My Thoughts
Recommended! A good read that will keep you wanting to know what's going to happen next.
The characters are likeable, and you care when even some of the side characters them die.
For a military story with lots of characters, you can easily pick them apart from one another.
I avoided the point system because I am not a reviewer or a critic and this is mostly for fun.
Wanted to share recommendations for people who want to try something else and completed.
