Boring
Not much to say. It wasn't entertaining, nor fun to read. It was pretty boring actually. Which is pretty difficult considering the 40k universe and necrons. Several spelling errors and typos as well. There was simply no immersion.

This was such a fascinating read. The insight and descriptions of Necrons was so interesting. This book gives character grow to a Necron, I did not think that was possible. And I was rooting for the main character the entire time. It really has motivated me to continue to work on my Necron army.

About the Book: Lord Oltyx would’ve likely fallen in this remote backwater of a planet, fighting hordes of orcs. Plenty of them, and always more to come. While his ranks would only ever dwindle, as is the curse of Necron race who abandoned their flesh bodies oh so long ago. His salvation became a threat greater than orcs, salvation in a very horrible disguise: a warhammer shaped ship, entire armada or these… these upstarts, led by their half-dead god emperor to believe that Universe is theirs for the taking. And so, Oltyx, navigating stubborn courts of other lords and warlords, rushes home to crown planet, to warn, to ask for help, to beg for it… Just to find an unimaginable nightmare having taken root at the heart of their dynasty.
My Opinion: Insanely good history, lore, great perspective that makes empathy work overtime. On one hand, we’re reading from a perspective of this necron race, how time and decay has affected this once powerful empire. On the other hand… It’s humans in those warships above. Characters, while mediocre as personalities, provided very interesting insight. And while novel is written pretty good from the technical side, at times it either lacked definition on where the plot jumped: is it a vision, a dream, a memory, or the here and now? Or it lacked in substance, leaving my brain to wander off, just to return and reread paragraphs, until it finally stuck. Overall good tho.
