The Thousand Names
by Django Wexler
I wish Goodreads allowed half stars. The only reason this book didn't get the full 5 stars is that generally, I'm not the hugest fan of war books. When a good percentage of the narrative is detailed battle descriptions, the authors tend to lose me. However, that only drops Wexler half a star (if Goodreads let me do halves) because he manages to keep the human focus within the battlefield. This ends the negatives of this book for me.
The best part of this story, characters. Wexler is one of those authors that bothers with the full range of humanity for each and every person. The characters that are just douches, are believable and real. We've all had a Davis in our lives. No one is a cartoony villain twirling a mustache. In fact the only silly wax mustache is on a good Captain. The main characters that we follow, especially Winter and Marcus, are easy to like and believe and I will follow them through more books.
