spiritualkungfu 's review for:
The Lost and the Damned
by Guy Haley
I found the trench war outside the palace more gripping and enjoyable to read then the void battles in the solar war, the human perspectives here seem to work better too especially the conscripts going from green to veterans over the course of the siege, the description of the opening tests against the palaces defences was cool with gradually greater forces pressed against the trenches as the defenders keep thinning out in numbers and ratios and disease starts killing large numbers off, it all gave a good sense of how the battle progressed and what people faced on the ground, it also works well as a way for the novel to continuously build the action in a natural way, also both traitor and loyalist primarchs are enjoyable to read here angron calling flugrims space marines his peacocks was funny, it would have been interesting to see the war on the rest of the planet play out in more detail but it's understandable that they centralised the action so I can't really complain about it.
