Whilst I like this story, I'll be remiss if I didn't point out that this doesn't read to me like your average action flick. I get written and visual media have different bars of entry for what constitutes 'action' as a genre, but were I to compare this to something like All You Need Is Kill or 86, I feel like the tone remains a lot more consistent there. The focus is also more on the thriller side of things rather than the character development - much to my dismay. I get that this reads like a 'wow, this is too good to be the mid action novels entail', but in the end that's the only kind of take I can form.
