Just excellent; every section is spot-on. You've characterized them all so sharply. I'm impressed by the way you've shown not only the cost of war, but the strength of those who fight it. The flying motif ties everything together just as it should be; you've chosen exactly the right image.
Minerva-lover that I am, I like her section best, but really, all of them are so well done. (Love the Cho/Susan moment in particular).
Just a few of my favorite lines:
She will be free again, one or way or another.
Is this the price? she thinks. Is this the price of being a woman, not a child?
Whatever happens tonight, they will have flown together again.
She will not be startled into death, not tonight
there will be an open sky and a school to teach new children to fly five hundred feet above the ground, to test themselves and know if they find themselves wanting.
