I just reread them for the first time in 10+ years and I absolutely agree, even would go so far as to say the books are underrated because people remember more about the terrible dystopia YA novels after it and/or the movies which were fine, but not as thoughtful as the book, especially because the Marketing felt like they fully missed the point.
I read an interview that the author did saying that the book is in large part a treatise on Just-War philosophy (what makes a war/the actions taken during it justified?) and it’s chilling how relevant the books continue to be.
