It's essentially a war story, in the vein of like 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'Blackhawk Down' or along those lines anyway, stylistically -- only it's set in fantasy. The narrative follows a few units around a mission gone bad and just sorta documents the confusion and chaos. At least in my head, it's all super thematic, rather than like an action-orgy -- of course that all turns into your run-of-the-mill 'War isn't heroic' message, so it's really not all that special, but it's clicking to me right now, so I'm just gonna go on ahead like it's the most profound shit ever written, and hope for the best.
