This is a compelling book - but not in the clichéd sense of the word. Some books are "bigger" in their impact on the reader than the outside package would suggest. This is one of those.
This will be a sure addition to my libraries - at all levels, adolescent and up. I appreciate the draw-me-in plot, beginning with the first sentence. The characters are well-developed, the mystery and suspense hold cohesively, and the ending is satisfying despite inevitable loss of war.
Well-done - and one I'm already book-talking to friends, weeks before the book's release!
