davybaby 's review for:
False Gods
by Graham McNeill
In this volume, the hoo-rah military love-fest gets turned up a notch. The number of times characters gasped at the "sheer physicality" of manly men was laughable, and it often felt like it was written to be a springboard for slashfic.
The character arcs were jarring as well, especially after Horus Rising, which was surprisingly well-done. Most of the characters here were cardboard cut-outs, with cliched and poorly justified dialogue and decisions.
And the strategy of Horus, the most brilliant military leader humanity has ever known, is invariably to charge forward swinging his sword, and let his support troops/artillery/strategic skill hang back and watch his stunning glutes.
So it's a smart book, is what I'm saying.
