16 Ways to Defend a Walled City by K.J. Parker
I love K.J. Parker. He has such a great take on fantasy. It reminds me a lot of military Sci-Fi with it's attention to detail and minutia. And Parker is really fond of the unreliable narrator which is the case for 16 Ways.
The whole book revolve arounds the siege of the last city in the empire. Orhan, leader of military engineering battalion finds himself the last military man standing and feels responsible for defending the city against impossible odds. It's funny and exciting and the world is really well built. There is another book in this series and I can't wait to read it.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
