"Never cross a Sidhe, they say. They don’t forget or forgive." - way to build a sense of impending doom right at the end. It left me wanting more (a good thing). I also though the whole battle scene at the start was well done. Very visual and visceral, like a fantasy version of the barbarian battle in the forest at the beginning of Gladiator. Great piece of prose.
I'm flattered by the comparison and the compliment. I certainly hadn't been thinking of that movie when I wrote this story, but I can see the parallel. Movies like Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan are definitely good examples of how I think major battles should be portrayed.
