6 characters repeating the same convo in a trench coat.

Revisado: 01-14-25

is it a slow burn if the payoff is predictably unsatisfying? it feels like the "last ten hours" could have been the whole book. Instead of 10 days it was 5?
Over written. Under edited? I think the repetitive nature of the narration just finally got to me. I get its to remind readers the who what where of it all but if the books were shorter that wouldn't be that big of a problem.
Then theres the sloppness? The over use of phrases, the shifts in voice, the shifting in style of in prose.
A shard blade spren says "time to kick some ass" like corny marvel movie dialog. among othe examples
the easter eggs to his bigger univers now feel necessary to know where as they weren't before.

by far my new favorite 40k book

Revisado: 03-11-23

just the most delightful characters. It is incredibly refreshing for an author to understand what satire actually is and how to write it. I like these crime novels more than the space marine fair which often glorifies something so fundamentally flawed. The imperium is, in fact, bad and compassion is not weakness.
the very end is just so comically grim derp that it feels like the author was told to put it in.

a really great culmination of stories

Revisado: 01-24-23

hope they continue to expand these stories separately and slowly build up the scale to eventually have all these characters meet up.

What would be so awesome is if these crime stories are actually laying the ground work for a little revolution and Alecto becoming independent to the imperium.

idk bran sand is just so dang good

Revisado: 04-20-22

not as detailed and epic as stormlight, but just as emotional and fun. the characters are motivated and deep and the story is fast-paced and interesting. perhaps a bit too hard magic for some, but the characters are just so fun.

Behind the Scenes of the CSA

Revisado: 04-01-22

McCurry makes a very convincing case on how the very fundamentals of the confederacy lead to its spectacular destruction. Few books are about the internal nature of the CSA, and many books on this subject try to defend the indefensible.

it's OK

Revisado: 01-24-22

The narration gets a bit much and the story goes on for a bit too long.

there are some good bits and pieces of tau culture but ultra marines are ultra marines.

incredibly dence.

Revisado: 10-22-21

it's an academic book that relise heavily on the reader knowing many concepts about the topic. The main problem is that I do know the vocabulary and terminology but the unbearably, unapologetically repetitive nature of the text makes me hate myself that I do know them because it all sounds so pompous.

lastly, there is no story. there is only the author's dry, algebraic sentences used to disprove other theories with out petty bad when the narrator sounds as bored as ido. It's too bad because it is a topic I realy want to know about, but I'm not looking to get my PhD in it.
