Absolutely gripped multi-day battle novel that you can't help but keep reading and hoping things turn out okay. Highly recommend for any Abercrombie or grimdark fans, as well as for people who enjoy historical accounts of battles or military history. You can't put it down.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Violence, and War
Minor: Animal death and Sexism

Still great. Enjoyed it even more on a reread via audiobook. Rereading all of these back to back continues to be a rewarding and worthwhile exercise!
