Stolz und Ehre.

The bond between characters feels both inspiring and complex, raising questions about loyalty and sacrifice. Did anyone else feel torn about how much loyalty is too much?

The setting feels almost like a character itself, shaping the characters' morals and choices. I'm curious whether Conroy drew from personal experience or historical accounts.

The way authority is portrayed felt nuanced, making me wonder how much was based on real traditions versus literary dramatization. What was your reaction to the leadership dynamics?
