Quite unique in it's militaristic description, and easily notable that the author knows what he does, which makes everything very plausible and a delight to read.

furthermore it is very interesting since it is written from the perspective of normal but capable people while extremly powerful forces exist ofttimes manifested in their opponents.

I also liked discovering later in the series that he changes the writing style when he changes the writing charakter. Which adds another layer to the personalities.
