Lack of Quality/Attention to Detail

Revisado: 06-01-24

One huge chapter, really? The earlier books have some errors in narration and the performance is considerably weaker, but at least they are broken up into proper chapters. The performance in these later books is way better, but the narrator should have a listen to some Black Library books, like those narrated by Jonathon Keeble. Stop reading the words and tell me the story instead.

Exaggerated Reading

Revisado: 05-19-24

The narrator does a decent job, but most of the characters are just reading their lines poorly. I'm assuming this never improves. Has Black Library spoiled me?

Often Incoherent and Boring

Revisado: 03-26-23

I like the narration, but I struggled to keep track of all the characters I never connected with, which was all of them. This wasn't the next part of the series I was looking forward to, it's something else for a different audience than me, that's for sure.

Where's the Martyin Ellis Story?

Revisado: 02-28-23

I bought the book for Martyn Ellis. There are a lot of whiners that loudly complain about him, but he did justice to the Thousand Sons. He ads an aristocratic flair that makes them sound particularly unique. I want the version I purchased back.

Theme/Content Mismatch

Revisado: 01-12-23

The book carryies Guilliman's name under the "Primarchs" series, it barely features Guilliman and its only 4 hours long. Not sure what they were thinking here. It's fine, just not what I purchased based on previous experiences in this series. Bad form, BAD form!!!

Best Book

Revisado: 11-06-22

I would read 40k books about the Alpha Legion and never get bored. The performance is top-notch too, as usual for J. Keeble.

Dull

Revisado: 10-25-22

There isn't enough focus on Uriel. Every other chapter follows some other boring characters. The performance is mediocre. If the performance was excellent or the story better, then it might have saved it. I can't even fall asleep to it, it's distractingly boring.

Subpar

Revisado: 06-21-22

The writing is weak, the story isn't very interesting. The performance is disappointing at times. Somebody should have coached a better melody for those hymns. She does well in most other areas, it's really surprising to me that she was good with it.

Mediocre Narration

Revisado: 07-11-21

The new recording took the uniqueness away from the Thousand Sons. A lot of crybabies whined about how bad the original narrator was, this is far more plain. Martyn Ellis may have too a few chapters to find his stride, but he made the Thousand Sons stand apart from the other legions, gave them their own unique accent. It's a shame I can't keep the book I purchased, or at least have a version option for the download.

The story is great, with listening to even if the new narrator never finds a good stride over the course of the entire book.

Subpar

Revisado: 05-28-21

The narrator gets some words wrong and doesn't have enough voice variation between characters always. The writing does not do much to help her, because it's pretty bad in comparison to other 40k novels.

This book feels like it's in a different genre from some if the other Inquisition, Horus Heresy, Sisters of Battle, etc. novels. That in itself wouldn't be a bad thing, but this story just goes nowhere fast. It's tough to follow along sometimes, and it doesn't sell me on anything.

In the first couple hours some things happen, but there's no reason for me to care. Even if there was, what happens is only interesting until it gets ruined by becoming something not interesting. I realize that probably doesn't make much sense, but I hope you have the sense to skip this as an audiobook. Buy the print version.
