3.0

Pretty good book.
It suffers from the fact that it is somewhat similar in setting to Dan Abnett's
Gaunt's Ghosts series.

It has potential to grow into a decent series.
But there is definitely room for improvement.

The good:
-The main character. Severina Rain is not a mindless fanatic but at the same time she still is a Comissar.
-The suspense. It's a nice enough plot and you actually want to know what or who is to blame.

The bad:
-Just another 40k story. There is nothing new or fresh about this story. Grimdark, heretics, chaos, imperium, a few blams.
