What this book lacks in continuity cohesion it more than makes up with some instances of great prose.
"Too often you allow the fear of that which your opponent has not even considered to keep you from greatness." Is a quote that sums up anxiety so well, and the book is filled with other such aphorisms that in a different book I may have found tiring, but here it really really worked for me.
The depth of character here really made for an exciting read. The fact that you are invested in characters make the action hit all the harder.
Graham McNeill is my favourite storyteller in Black Library.
