“Sergeant Adriene Valero wants to die. She can't.”

That's the sentence that made me pick up this book. I was expecting something really dark and emotional, but that's not what I got. Not really. I got cheesy interactions with a weird set of comrades that are by far the most unprofessional special forces kind of soldiers I can think of. It will work for some, but didn't work for me.

I kind of gave up around 60%, speed read a few chunks here and there, and then read the final two chapters. The ending is... not very satisfying.

Mmmmaybe a 15 yrs younger me would've appreciated it more?
