This was my 2nd time reading it, hence the speed. Here a the thing: as a Dystopian, it deserves one star.
HOWEVER, as a military science-fantasy, it’s a solid five-star read. I’ll write a formal review later and explain the difference later. Dystopian has specific genre requirements. Military fiction has a different set. The book meets the latter, but not the former.

I'm still so astounded by the mis-marketing! As a military sci-fantasy, this is a solid novel. I'd go as far as giving it 4/5 stars. The problem is, it's presented as a Dystopian (which it isn't), which confuses readers because it does not meet genre requirements. Do I recommend this? So far, yes. Absolutely. But, do not go into this expecting a Dystopian because it is not.

Hmmm…marketing this as a Dystopian is a bit inaccurate. I’d say that this is more of a military drama with touches of sci-fu and fantasy. Military science-fantasy. It’s closer to “Dune” than to “Divergent” or “The Hunger Games.”
