I think Bakker's battle scenes are great. They get better in the second two books. I like the way he takes perscpective away from the characters and just does an overview of the fighting. The battles come across realistic and gritty. I also love the way he demonstates single acts of heroism in the midst of raging war, often by characters who are completely unknown.
WAR! What is your favourite battle sequence?

I want to die the way my dad died, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Non-fantasy, Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe's novels have incredible battles. I prefer his Saxon novels, but the battles in the Sharpe's novels are incredible.
