AYY!!! SAYAT IS LEARNING TO USE ENCHANTED BULLETS!!!! Ledo, I found a student for you!!!

Also I hope Genkos sticks around. I love that fucked up little blood mage.

[frantically taking notes for my D&D character bc she is supposed to have tactical military expertise and I super do not]

Anyway, I'm really enjoying the battles in this. Finally! A raid conducted at night! Not each party waiting patiently for the sun to rise to launch an attack!

YEAH!!!! FUCKED UP BLOOD MAGIC!!!! YEAH!!!!! Oh, the imagery of blood mages having barbed wired wrapped around their arms and countless crisscrossing scars to match is inspired.

I can appreciate that, despite this being a historical fiction fantasy based on WWI, there are female soldiers here. And they are here without fanfare, at that!

Got this ARC from the author—the host and researcher for a military history podcast I listen to. Let's see how this goes!
