Received as an arc from Netgalley:
This was such a fun surprise. The Warhammer Crime line is one element of 40k that I hadn't really explored before, if they all meet up to 'The Wraithbone Phoenix' then I am really missing out.
Complex characters who go through compelling arcs matched with a brilliant plot that brings out even minor side characters with depth. The action was BRILLIANT, some of the best action I've read in the literary format capturing both the haphazard nature of close quarters combat with a clear delineation of how it all goes down.
Whip smart satire that effectively dismantles the hellscape of the setting.
Suffice it to say, I loved this book.
