Content warning for violence, war, death, racism, and related topics. I really liked the historical fiction aspects, especially how the novel focused on the intersections of identity being a woman of color in the military. I think the characters were nicely developed, but I didn't like the romance aspect. There's a YA element to the dialogue, but it didn't ruin the story for me.
