3.9 AVERAGE


If I had a nickel every time a guy named Konrad does something sussy, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice (not really. And if I count the guy from Rogue Trader, I would have three nickels).
Also kids, remember to wear your helmet.

When it drags it drags, but when it picks up its hard to put down. Thankfully there is enough to keep it moving

3.0

hasta ahora entretenido, pero falta un poco mas de emocion, trata sobre una conspiracion por lo que me siento un poco desilucionado, pense que seria un poco mas belico.

I feel a bit crazy for giving this 5 stars because it is certainly no masterpiece of writing and tropes. However, I try to rate books on how much I enjoy them and I really really liked this. This feels like a perfect action mystery plot line with cool characters and neat twists. I wish the ending was done a bit neater, but it was still so fun that I can't fault the book that much for it. I love how interactions between different Inquisitors is treated and how deep ideological feuds can be, while each person still has a unifying purpose. The terror the warp and various Chaos based things can cause is described really well in a way that makes you understand how insane the conditions in some places could be. Overall just enjoyed it a lot.

I found this to be a slog… it feels like non stop exposition dumping and not much happen that I found engaging or interesting.
