This also read like an adult novel, which sometimes made it awkward that the main characters were teenagers. Half the time they were expected to behave like adult military personnel and other times they were discounted because of their age (i.e., "The physician stares at her, like he doesn't quite believe a second underage person is volunteering out of turn.") It made the story less believable to me. There were a few adult characters who were supposedly given supervisory roles, but they didn't seem to do much. I didn't buy that a group of 16-17 year olds were solely responsible for the defense of an entire city.
I will probably continue on to the next book, as I'm curious where it will go from here, but I will definitely be taking a break before then.
