War is chaos. It always has been. But technology makes it worse. It changes the fear. At the Institute, I feared men. I feared what Titus and the Jackal could do to me. You see death coming there and can at least struggle against it. Here you don’t have such luxury. Modern war is fearing the air, the shadows, fearing the silence.
Death will come and I won’t even see it.

The urge to pause every 3 words to check the glossary for technical terminologies at war 😅

These one-on-one conversations Darrow is having are making me tear up.... the latest one is with Ragnar

"He said he always had his eye on me. So I took one of his."

Chapter 24: Bacon and Eggs
This conversation between Mustang and Darrow has me

Go ahead, tell her!!! She'll understand!!!!!

Okay this is my favourite scene ever in this series🥹🥹🥹🥹

Chapter 23: Trust - Sevro and Darrow finalllyyyyy

Gotta appreciate the Graphic Audio production🤯

I have no idea where this book is headed, and I am not sure if this is impressive or frustrating

It's also so glaringly interesting how when more vulnerable and less powerful parties do massive acts of violence, we call it "terrorism" and when powerful ones do it, it's called "defending themselves and politics", or if we're referring to it as something bad, it's called "tyranny", never terrorism
