"Pretty awesome book. Loved it. I'd say 9/10. I think any soldier who has trauma or ptsd could relate to the main protagonist so much. It delves into the mind of someone who has seen and breathed war, and how that can impact the psyche. The war you experience after the physical war. The one inside yourself."
