Scout's Honor #5 Review: Highly Recommended
Posted on
Scouts Honor #5 starts with a flashback that provides great room for a wonderful callback; this action-packed series finale builds wonderfully on everything that has happened before. Likewise, elements of "hoisted by his own petard" come into play with the series' Seventh Law for a wonderful bit of dramatic resolution, giving each main character a complete arc.

Kit is considered a "heretic," a teenaged girl who has masqueraded as a boy to be a member of the Ranger Scouts, the only semblance of order in a post thermonuclear dystopia. For years, Kit has worked her way up the ranks to become one of the best of her organization, working carefully to hide her gender, which is prohibited by the Third Law, prohibiting non-cis-gendered males from being Scouts. Now, armed with the knowledge of the Scouts' true, less than noble, origins Kit is focused on ripping the shroud off all the lies and creating a more equitable, level playing field.
