Something I've grown to love about Flanagan's writing style is the emphasis and explaining techniques. It isn't just "he shot an arrow" it's a slow zoom moment of which muscles are used to draw back and adjusting how high he's aiming and all the little details that make the moment come to life. I'm sure by the end of the series, anybody will feel just a little more knowledgeable than the average person about war strategy and weaponry. I love the constant character development, and watching the characters interactions show how much they care for and respect each other. It's kind of sweet!

Will and Horace are such pure and stupid boys. I hope they learn more about how the female human functions.
