An enjoyable read. A decent sci-fi setting that doesn't worry too much about the specifics of technology so much as the social hierarchy, and the flow of war. A bit like a mini Ender's Game, the plot moves somewhat too fast for its own good, and the ending could use some help, but I enjoyed the read nonetheless.

Quite a bit different from Sanderson's regular writing, but also a little familiar. I had issues with the pacing, but overall loved the world building, imagery, and voice.

Dennison being a clone and Varion being a traitor was predictable, but based on the length of the book, the reveal made sense. As always, Brandon does not disappoint
