This review is in the context of the dozens and dozens of this type story I have already listened to. This started out pretty good and I was very optimistic. There were a few things at first that were a little far fetched but overall good. As the series progressed it got worse. Specifically related to the main character and how she was developed and portrayed. Very unrealistic, often silly, and progressed to unreal even for fiction. She was whinny and new more than others even though she was 18. The experienced military leaders deferred to her more than once. It became hard to finish.
