I have listened to this series of three books three times. I get something out of it each time. I get loyalty. I get the deep love for family. I get never give up. I get do whatever you must do, without remorse, to save your loved ones. I get planning ahead as much as possible. Yes, the Mic used some vicious tactics, to kill as many as possible, but he was magnificent! If you can get past the gruesome aspects of this story, you will not be sorry that you got it!
