The Thousand Names

From far left field comes a fantasy novel that mixes war with magic effortlessly. To top that off, Django also gives great background to each character rooting them in their past to provide believable reasons for each plot in the book. The story is told primarily from 2 POV's and is very well managed allowing the writer to impart enough mystery without impacting the narrative. But for me the center stage is taken by the battle formations harking back to an era of muskets, powder & Bayonets where squares and wedges are used to outwit cavalry or Zombies. Onwards
