To say this book was an amazing read is an understatement. While I read the book, I wondered how I'd be able to think of exactly the right words to say to convey the pure talent and skill captured in this novella. Because, really, DC Bourone has these two in SPADES, and they show it with an ease, and unostentatiousness that makes you marvel and respect not only the writer, but the work and world they have created. Albeit short, it's packed with, in my opinion, the same kind of punch as a full novel. It's fast...and yet slow. There were moments when my fingers were just tapping wildly at the screen just to see what happens next, and then there were moments when I took my time to read and savour those beautiful, riveting lines that bound the entire tale.It was not hard to envision the world DC Bourone created, nor live through the protagonist's every emotion and thought and reaction. This is a story about war - different types of wars, actually, and though I'm willing to indulge in any available genre, I'm firmly a chick-lit lover. However, the book's sample was so impressive, it inspired me to read more. I'm so very glad that I did. Thank you so much for sharing this awe-inspiring piece with us, DC Bourone! Reading Injured Reserves was a wonderful opportunity I'm eager to share with others! :D
