So, again, I am sorry, if you are reading this, sorry that it has taken so long for me to catch you up on all that has happened.

I’m not sure what I just read. It begins as a typical angry war book, with angry male characters only happy in conflict and when they’re killing things. I did find their attitude towards women problematic, but I gritted my teeth and pushed through, u ...more
