Great read! The first half covers parts of the last book, but from Garro's perspective. Good action mixed in, but less world building and more ethical and moral decisions - interesting to see how these Warhammer books evolve over time.

‘What you have done will cost you your rank,’ hissed Maas in a sullen voice. ‘You are upon the verge of open mutiny against the Warmaster’s command!’
‘Get your terms straight, boy,’ retorted Carya. ‘Mutiny is when the enlisted men take over a vessel. When the ship’s master does it, it’s called barratry.’

The shift in perspective was an interesting way to start the book, also very emotionally engaging. The book does feel a bit like an anti-climax after the first 3 books created such momentum, yet still reasonably good overall.
