Meh?
From a male point of view, that has some of the most realistic romance I have ever read.
The violence is brutal, so that is realistic.
Bar fight! Bar fight!
It has some great action sequences that'd look wonderful on film.
It is quite funny.
It has some of the best villains in literature.
The leader
The brains
The brawn
The psycho killer
And the rarest villain of all. "Pretty Boy." A teenage villain that is both credible and realistic. Someone has to watch the horses.
The war. It is not only a war. It is a Civil War. Brother against brother. Friend against friend. Parent against child. And it is also a race war. Except it turns it on its head. For while the writer does not hit you over the head with it, the rulers of the kingdom are non-white, and the revolting subjects are white.
There are 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-year-olds trying to kill each other and killing each other. We are turning our kids into killers.
The profanity is profound and diverse. Holy frozen hell. Holy hell. Hell. Damn. Dammit. And that are only the ones that can be repeated. There are almost a score of other curse words or variations, including the title, that cannot be repeated here.
Everybody dies! Well, not everybody. Only the innocent. the guilty. the young. the old. men. women. boys. girls. the villains. the heroes.
Yet these get to be victims you care about and not want to see die, even the villains.
Thus, with all due respect to the all the meh out there.
Nah!
