It may not suit: You'll likely put it down when the zero-gravity combat scenes become repetitive and the tactical detail starts to feel like a video game walkthrough.; Not for you if you need warm, emotionally expressive characters; the book maintains a clinical distance even in painful moments.; Skip if you dislike stories where children are subjected to violence and psychological torment—the book doubles down on this and never lets up..
