A review by din0_bot
Mechanicum by Graham McNeill
Did not finish book.
McNeill focuses far too much on characters who aren't the Fabricator General or other important players in the story. The seriously interesting lore bits are too few and far between. The Titan legio characters blend into each other too much because of their lack of deeper characterization.
Maybe it's my fault for reading this directly after Legion by Dan Abnett. I can still remember John Grammaticus and the two hetman characters, Hurtado Bronzi and Peto Soneka. Alpharius is done rather well. Honen Mu is also still memorable for her personality and decisions.
I still don't get the Fabricator General of Mars and couldn't care less about his underlings. By about page 246, I stopped caring overall about the characters.
I have Forges of Mars, the Adeptus Mechanicus omnibus on my shelf by McNeill. He'd better kick ass with that one or else my impression of this faction is going in the trash.
