    {dnf at 30%} not only was this book boring, i was slowly growing suspicious about how this series was portraying a genocidal war with one clear aggressor. once i found out that was from a clear cut israel/palestine inspiration? yeah, we're done here

    i'm not sure if i'm meant to like liraz and hazael but i'm pretty bored by their chapters with akiva cause they've just settled back into their routine of war crimes basically. and the book feels way too casual about it? there's a scene where liraz chastises some other soldiers for counting fleeing civilians on their kill count tattoos and like is that meant to make her "one of the good ones"?

    Slowly dragging myself through this book…does it get better? More interesting? I feel like it’s been a big info dump and Winston being paranoid and hating women. Is anything going to happen?
