Well, it definitely raised strong emotions in me.
Unfortunately, a great deal of those were not pleasant ones. Throwing away babies so that mothers don't slow down the rest of the captive people? Seriously? And somehow mothers were beaten into moving forward? And after that they just meekly continued to serve? Sorry, but I don't believe that.
After the second mention of blindly slaughtering children (by their own parents no less) I almost put the book down.
The sheer cruelty throughout the book was so repulsive, I could barely stomach it. And it was needless.
Anyway, although the story has a lot of merits, this way of making bad guys seem really bad is just not my cup of tea.
Not going to read the rest of the series, unless I find out that the author cuts down on things like killing lots of babies and incinerating hundreds of people just to make a point.
