The chapter near the end of the series, the battle of Brenna, was one of the best chapters I've ever read in any book.

So many introductions of minor characters, so many washed away shortly after introduction. A general's last moments in the mud. Ancestors looking down at a captain. Nurses and doctors frantically saving lives.

So intense. Such a good story.

I had an identical experience. I think that was the only time I have cried while reading a book, the cavalry charge with the Alba devision just felt so... Idk. Real?
