I thought it was a good book, and frankly, I like most of the books in the series. With everything that has happened, I get the impression that the MC is just a stud. I think in some ways it's good that he gets promoted fast. There is a war going on, and the casualties are pretty high, so I have to acknowledge it, even though I disagree with how fast he's getting promoted.
