Sanguinius is the Great Angel, most beloved of all the primarchs, his mighty exploits celebrated throughout the entire Imperium as the Crusade expands into the void. And yet the origins of his Legion are shrouded in mystery and rumour, his unique physical form is an enigma, and his perilous home world remains off-limits to all but his own secretive people. When a discredited remembrancer arrives with the expeditionary fleets to chronicle the primarch’s deeds, he has to work hard to uncover the truth behind the legends.

The last thing she remembers is being shot at point-blank range just as a roiling warp storm engulfed the Calaphrax Cluster. Now, she finds herself awakening on a distant Ecclesiarchy stronghold and indebted to a magos called Metik, who has brought her back from the brink of death. Shortly after her resurrection, Sabbathiel is called to an audience on the planet Hulth by a high-ranking inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, Heldren, who informs her that after being lost for so long, the members of her former conclave no longer trust her.

the okay-est 40k novel
Revisado: 10-13-22
Decent story but things like acrobatic Terminator armor hold it back. The combat was so unengaging that I kept spacing out and having to relisten to those parts multiple times to absorb them. The motley crew of acolytes are a sore spot as they are all so heavily plot armored and showboaty that the main challenge they faced in the fights was whether there would be any enemies left for the rest to kill after each of them "killed lots in cool ways."
Some things were over described but others were under described, like how the xenoarchaeologist (who is the sort of inexplicable badass you see in cheesy made for TV action movies) has a Necron Gauss Flayer as her weapon, that is when she isn't killing people by throwing knives through carapace armor. That's just one of several bizarre choices that run against established lore which break immersion.
It's a shame too because the actual story is cool.

excellent complex story that weaves together existing characters and story arcs quite successfully. the decision to have an honest truthseeker and a man of science in the story was fascinating.

Before and after World War II, a serendipitous confluence of events created a healthy balance between the market and the polity - between the engine of capitalism and the egalitarian ideals of democracy. A global financial system was devised explicitly to allow nations to manage capitalism. Yet this golden era turned out to be lightning in a bottle. From the 1970s on, a power shift occurred, in which financial regulations were rolled back, taxes were cut, inequality worsened, and disheartened voters turned to far-right faux populism. Can democracy find a way to survive?

Does an exceptional job providing context for how the present neoliberal order came to be.
