Honour Guard by Dan Abnett
3.0
3 / 5
This might be the worst book in the series so far. It is still an entertaining and quick read, but many of the things that it was going for where botched.
The book tries to humanize Gaunt but does a terrible job at it.
The first half of the book (which is the way too long exposition and setup) felt like a slog.
The second half was full of suspense but was rushed. I kept getting closer and closer to finishing the book and still the endgame had not begun. It was very predictable that the resolution of this book would be VERY rushed.
Apart from that the story overall is very interesting.
Gaunt's development may be a dumpster fire but the rest of the Ghosts grew on me just a little bit more. We also get to know the newly recruited Ghosts from Vervunhive.
As i said, definitely the worst book so far. But for all the misses this book also hits on enough points to still make it an enjoyable quick read.
