this was such a nice, self contained science fiction story with a strong main character; his struggles with PTSD, OCD, and depression provides insight on how he copes with loneliness as well as war.
the discussions around being a soldier in a war one doesn’t truly believe in were extremely poignant for such a quick novel!
