This book is about Viola and Todd, who are caught up in a war between three different armies. They have to try and stop the war and make peace and they have to try and make the decisions of war right for the people and not make the war personal.
My favourite character in the book is Viola because she always thinks of others and the way the book is written really makes you feel for her. She has to try and not make war personal and tries to make decisions that won't harm Todd. I think this puts accross the idea that she wants to please everyone but knows that that is impossible.
I didn't have a favourite part of the book because I liked it all. I loved the way it was written from Todd, Viola and Spackle 1017's points of view. Although I liked it from 3 different points of view I found 1017's parts quite tedious and I got a bit confused about the earth and sky.
The feelings of characters in this book are put accross very well and I although the three points of view often went over the same things from different perspectives, I really enjoyed seeing what the others felt.
War in this book is a key point and the hard choices that you have to make were written well. Nearly all of what happened was unexpected for me and I thought it was great not knowing what was going to happen next.
In conclusion, I thouht this book was amazing and I would definitley recommend it to anyone. It was well written but I thought the 1017 bits could have been a bit shorter and clearer.
