Leigh Statham and 1 other person liked Michelle Leonard's review of Girls of War (Daughter 4254, #3): "Whoa! Books one and two were page turners. I feel like I waited forever for this one, but it was worth the wait. Imani and Marian fiercely protect their community in this final installment in the Daughter 4254 trilogy!"
