I usually write reviews before I start another book but in this case, I was just too eager to read book 2 and then book 3 and if book 4 was ready, I'd probably be reading it right now instead of writing this! The upside to reading them all before reviewing is that I can ensure you that book 1 is not a one-hit-wonder.CROW delivers excellent pacing and a good storyline with characters whose actions are consistent and believable. And don't worry about the bad reviews whose main complaint is editing.  I don't like bad editing myself but some of those reviews are from a while back and I believe I read an updated Kindle version. I know there were a few mistakes present but nothing took me out of the story.The combat is mostly ground or even underground and much of it is gruesome.  I loved the strategy and tactics which play a large role.  In very difficult situations, Andy frequently stuggles to do what he sees as the right thing - sometimes he succeeds and sometimes not. But he is young and he grows in stature both because of and in spite of the horrible experiences this war puts him through.I honestly did not intend to write a long review and you must have gathered by now that I love this series. I'm looking forward to more.
