this one came critically praised by the critics. I thought it was a decent enough story, though i just struggled again and again to get lost inside the "head" of a half dog/half human protagonist.

all in all it takes a look at war and miltary hierarchy and the ways this erases the individual and autonomy so it's another decent anarchist adjacent sci-fi but compared so some of tchaikovsky's other novels i am not sure why this series got a trilogy and others stayed as stand alones.
