It's quite refreshing and definitely made the combat feel quite real. Mercer is a master at narration after all. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But compared to TV shows where all hell's breaking loose each week and yet all the main characters live on to the next episode this was something else.On the other hand, however, if the deaths seem meaningless or random that can cause trouble. One of the reasons (many) I quit Game of Thrones is because some key character deaths just seemed to happen willy-nilly with very little to no fore-shadowing. If you feel like your favorite characters can die at any moment it kind of takes the fun out of things <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> This death seemed awfully close to that - it was not heroic, more realistic.</blockquote>
