And this book is really, really good at showing how in desperate situations, people will do desperate things. And Jackrum's whole adult life has been spent in the army, and the army has taught a very narrow set of solutions. The horrible stuff Jackrum does is because he literally can't seem to conceive of any other way out of it.
It's depressing :/

That's what I honestly think a lot of members of this community should be doing right now. It's alright for us to love our favourite stories, and even feel bad when we see them criticised. But that doesn't allow us to lash out at others who don't share our perspective.

Now, of course, we do have to take this in context with the rest of fiction, so I appreciate that maybe this is a place where a second subversion would have been appreciated.
