Considering I was not expecting to like this at all, I am really happy with this book.
Severina Raine is a BADASS.
This was my first foray into Warhammer 40k fiction and I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not a reader of sci-fi in any way. I do find 40k lore fascinating, so that probably helped.
I have no idea if what I read was general sci-fi fodder or if it was really something unique, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The characters were enjoyable and less annoying than I expected, the scenery was terrifying and truly conveyed hopelessness in a never-ending war, and the story itself was engaging. I went to the Warhammer wiki a LOT (but in a good, interested way).
I did skim parts of it because there was a lot of discussions of war and technicalities that went on a little long and there were some characters whose arcs I just didn’t care about.
Recommended for people who like sci-fi ladies doing very cool things and nerdy Warhammer lingo.
