Review: Brutal, bloody and a good read.

Caros' life is ripped apart when his family are brutally murdered in an act of war. In the aftermath his lot falls in with warriors but from free will that he stays. The need to redeem his father's warhorn drives him on to punish the enemy and in the process he discovers a cunning for strategy and battle. His days of being a merchant lie behind him as he picks the path of war and his lot falls in with Hannibal (of elephant reknown.)The battle scenes were brutal and bloody, and I admit to feeling a little queasy on one occasion. Warhorn is well written and the writing does evoke a reaction. I especially liked how the author described simple things such as Caros washing after a battle and scrubbing the blood and gore away.A touch violent for a 5 star but a well deserved 4.
