On the whole? Loved it.
Looking at the little quirks? Not so much.

POV change confused the hell out of me :(
I don't mind it, really, when it alternates chapters or when there is a name of a character before the change occurs. There was no pattern to it in this book. I thought I had it figured out, when - slam! - I ran into a conundrum and found myself backtracking a full page. Theres was no indication whose head you're entering at the beginning of each chapter. Bummer :(

The ending... I have very mixed feelings about the ending.
In a lot of ways "Sarge" reminded me of DMZ, only much better longer.
Bottom line
The writing, the action, the characters... all the components (sans the end) - 5 stars
The confusion and a disappointing finale - 2.5
*does math in her head:
5+2.5=7.5
7.5/2=3.75
rounding up to the nearest whole number*
oh, bloody murder.... this is a 3.5 star read for me and this is how I am going to rate it
