• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I don't necessarily think the writing warrants a five-star rating, but the emotional gut-punch certainly does. This series is intense, intelligent, brutal, and in many ways, too realistic for comfort. I love the flawed characters, and I think the ending showing that no one ever really wins a war hits home.
