At the start of "The Third Day, the Frost" the characters are emotionally devastated by what they saw and did in "The Dead of the Night" but this is nothing compared to what happens to them by the end of this book. By the end of "The Third Day, The Frost" the survivors are physically safe but crushed - emotionally, physically and mentally - by the experiences they have undergone in these few hundred pages. Yet before that they find the strength within themselves to accept the events of "The Dead of the Night" and again act. This time picking a target with such precision and moving against it with such cunning that they change the course of the war and elevate themselves to public enemy number one.
