The darkness and evilness of the atrocities of war is conveyed in such a descriptive and vivid way that it pulls you in and makes you feel like you are there and truly witnessing it all. The world building and character development are phenomenal. The pacing is fast, but the density of the material makes reading it slow.
This one is definitley worth a read, BUT make sure you check the content warnings and heed them. This book is incredibly graphic and is not for everyone.

"You humans always think you're destined for things, for tragedy or for greatness. Destiny is a myth. Destiny is the only myth. The gods choose nothing. You chose. You chose to take the exam. You chose to
come to Sinegard. You chose to pledge Lore, you chose to study the paths of the gods, and you chose to follow your commander's demands over your master's warnings. At every critical juncture you were given an option; you were given a way out. Yet you picked precisely the roads that led you here. You are at this temple, kneeling before me, only because you wanted to be. And you know that should you give the command, I will call something terrible. I will wreak a disaster to destroy the island of Mugen completely, as thoroughly as Speer was destroyed. By your choice, many will die.”
