The Purging of Kadillus by Gav Thorpe
4.0
I liked this book, didn’t love it, just liked it.
It wasn’t nonstop action and blood, which was a good thing, there was a lot of downtime where we got to read about the inner misgivings that the various characters had and how those misgivings didn’t just go away with quick rousing speech.
Of the negative points of this novel, there is one that I had a problem with. The author made the regular human soldiers far too weak and afraid. As our own history of war has taught us, some of the most determined fighters are rebel or militias (french resistance in ww2) who are fighting for their loved ones. That’s the only negative that really detracted from my enjoyment of the story.
If you like the Warhammer 40000 universe then you’ll like this story.
