I’ll admit I haven't read many war books but this was suggested by a friend and I am glad I listened to his advice! As I began reading this novel I was immediately impressed with the level of detail and emotional investment I had in the characters. As Jacobs and Lynch get acquainted in their new and hostile surroundings the banter between them is amusing and entertaining, a sign to me of good things to come.This book is super fast paced and yet the level of detail doesn’t make you feel like you are being rushed. Instead it adds to the excitement and makes this a real page turner. Throughout this novel I was equally frightened and fascinated by the situations these soldiers are thrown into. Scary enough dealing with enemy fire but dragons too?! Talk about intense.With the dramatic and terrifying atmosphere you will be left breathless and entertained from the beginning to the end. Seriously one of the most unique and interesting books I’ve ever read!
