O my wow.... this was amazeballs. I have a million boners for it. I won't even get into specifics because I can on and on all day about it and still not capture all the moments I loved. 
 Yes, its a war story with all the loss, violence, death, heartbreak, and betrayal that comes along with it. But in contrast, Pierce Brown makes a point to also show the humor, love, forgiveness, and friendship along the way. The story was so richly layered and all the characters had such emotional depth that it was incredible. Totally blew me away. 
 And that cliffhanger ending!!!!!!!!!!!! What the shit! MUST HAVE MORNING STAR NOW!!!!!
