Can I say how much I love the scene with Tanya and Ugar? Not because of how Tanya manipulates him (although it's cold on her part, it really does end up working out for the best for both of them), but of how Ugar is the first one in the story to really show the appropriate reaction to Tanya. Usually, her allies look at her and go "look at how smart and powerful and mature and disciplined she is, she's such a perfect soldier, she's an inspiration to us all!" Her enemies look at her and go, "SHE'S THE ANTICHRIST!"
Ugar looks at her, and says, "My God. This is an eleven year old child who is a two year, almost three year, veteran of the military. We have thrown her literally into the front lines of the trenches of WW1. We have asked her to kill people with her bare hands, and she's done it. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US?!"
I love that so much. Wish we saw that reaction more.
