It was a quick and enjoyable read. A great sister of battle opener. I hope to see more in the future from Ms. Ware and the Sisters of Battle.

A short, fun action-packed read featuring the Sisters of Battle.

Though it was nice to see them up close and center for once, that still does not make up for the uninspired, forgettable plot elements, even if thr prose itself was good.

Admittedly, I was hoping things would take a slightly more suspenseful turn so maybe I was a little disappointed in that regard.

Definitely recommend for a quick commute read though.

A Sisters of Battle short story in which Sister Superior Augusta leads her squad to a distant corner of Ultima Segmentum to investigate an ancient, ruined cathedral. Rumoured to contain an icon of her own Order, the cathedral is a powerful symbol that appeals to Augusta’s faith, but that faith is soon tested when it becomes clear that the Sisters are not alone.

As depictions of the Adepta Sororitas go this is a strong one. It’s nice to see the Sisters cutting loose a bit, and while there’s not much subtlety here there’s enough depth for the characters, and the story overall, to still resonate.

Short, sharp and brutal. I suspect I missed some of the references as I've not read or played any Warhammer 40K, and being a short story it's light on background, but I enjoyed it a lot.

These daughters of divine slaughter are shown doing what could be imagined as a common mission for a small squad of the Adeptas Sororitas, and we are shown exactly what they consider as mercy.
It's a bit on the messy side, but sure, that's one of the reasons I like Black Library publications. A good read for between bigger reads.
