This book is like a crime heist in the 40k universe. The two main characters are both like able and the banter between them is perfect. The story is simple but flows well. It does jump between perspectives quite often though. For me this isn’t a big deal but I know it throws some readers off. The last third of the book is a just a fast paced race to the finish and I loved it, including the ending. Overall a very good Warhammer book, that refreshingly doesn’t include over doing the space marines or other popular aspects of the lore. It really is more a story all its own and honestly I thought the writing was very well done.
