4 stars
I enjoyed the lesbian romance, and the story was entertaining from start to finish, but I just didn't enjoy it at more than a 4 Stars level. The characters kind of felt like high schoolers, even though they were adults. And I simply can't enjoy a book as much with a veteran main character (one of them) with absolutely no reflection on war itself, especially not when the book was very unsubtle with its themes of justice and sacrifice. (The themes were good; the narrow focus when there were plenty of opportunities for deeper analysis was irksome.) This time, the real monster was white privilege and old money.
