A review by trackofwords
Born of the Storm by Edoardo Albert
4.0
Even at an early age, listening to his father read stories of angels, dragons, wolves and knights, Augustin knew he wanted to grow up to fight monsters. From battling ambushing gangers as a cadet in the Astra Militarum to surviving hardships under the storm-ridden skies of Mars, he must overcome challenge after challenge for the chance to attain his dream.
While the physical trials required for an aspirant to become a Space Marine have been written about before, this depiction has plenty of personality, spending time early on setting up Augustin as a strong character with clear stakes. An entertaining, characterful debut, this is a satisfying story in its own right with hints of what to expect from Albert's novella Lords of the Storm.
