First and Only by Dan Abnett
4.0
I was truly amazed by how much I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am only passably familiar with the universe, I've read and watched videos about it but I've never read a book or played the tabletop game.
With all of those caveats I was expecting a fun albeit trashy experience. What I got was a well constructed treatise on living in a world that's constantly at war. Gaunt was a truly compelling character with a rich backstory and I felt invested in his story.
Characters and genuinely compelling plot aside, this book still delivered on the action that I wanted.
I will definitely be checking out more books in this series.
