War is a cycle that picks up each character in this book, infects them, then places them back on horror wheel to spin around again. Those that gain a sense of charity in this death circle go on to see that charity abused in the name of vengeance. Those that are killed are recycled into martyrs for causes they didn’t care for. Those that are wounded are spun into objects of veneration for crowds that have no interest in the complexity of story. Round and round it goes, where it stops everyone exactly knows. There is no redemption because it’s all happening again and has happened before and each time the loop completes, the ruts are deeper and filling with hateful history so that no one, neither villain nor hero, can climb out.
Great book. Go read it.
