what all wh40k books should aspire to be

Revisado: 04-18-25

Id more or less lost interest in the wh40k books, lore is good and all but most of the fighting has been around a wartable not troops on the ground. this shows you the fighting on the ground. Cadia stands! 24 in the war!

good and bad

Revisado: 12-04-24

overall I enjoyed the book but the ending is getting rough (have roughly 5 hours left) and I'm a bit irritated by her attitude during the final threat of the book. going in with a team to find a specific threat and she jumps ship to fight single monsters almost immediately even tho she said she'd help with a time critical problem. I enjoyed the beginning and middle of the book but I'm struggling with the last little bit

Something doesn't add up

Revisado: 09-17-24

I don't get the whole "saving the universe" thing. The main character just drops his whole life and says he's doing this because he wants to "save everyone" from a threat that kinda doesn't exist. Sure, code name extinction sounds scary but it's been 200 years and nothing has happenee, it's either not a threat anymore or waiting for someone to awaken it

poorly written main character

Revisado: 08-12-24

Everly is poorly written, that's my biggest complaint with this. I can get behind giving her some "main character" buffs but this girl gets all the buffs, can deflect bullets with a sword while in our world, goes to the other world and at 3 days old she gets more magical power than anyone else in the whole world, creates an imaginary world where shes a teen again and can train while complaining about a karate fighting style because its more about the movement and technique over actually fighting anyone, mind you while she's complaining about this style not being good because it's not "real fighting" she's fighting an imaginary sword master while she's still an infant in the real world . . . I gave up after that.

Great story, mediocre narration

Revisado: 05-23-24

Glad GE is back with season 3, I liked hearing how Wraith became the terror he is in the current timeline. I still have a few hours left but I'm excited to see where this season goes.

Mark Boyett does an ok narration but his characters are lacking, I always have a hard time figuring out which character is talking at any given time. Lao Pak is the only character I can get right away, Aizen, Doc, Chun, all the legionares, even Zara all sound so similar. Not sure why they swapped from RC Bray again but if we can't get Bray back can we at least get someone like Luke Daniels or Travis Baldree? If Boyett does the whole season I'll probably switch to reading instead of audible.

decent story if you can get through the narrator

Revisado: 02-20-23

This is probably my least favorite of all the medal of the centurion books. The story is ok, but the narrator makes it tough to finish.

decent story with glaring military issues

Revisado: 08-22-21

I'm currently about halfway thru, overall it's a decent story, but there are some seriously glaring annoyances like why on god's green earth did anyone let a guy drive off to his girlfriends house with a m249 and grenade launcher in the back of his car? or some boot marine drive off base with a humvee? noone went after him? nobody noticed a military vehicle was gone?

I enjoy the combat and military speak, overall story is compelling but there is no way these guys got off a military base with a fully loaded combat kit inside the US outside of a warzone

unrealistic military

Revisado: 05-29-21

The navy's competency is seriously lacking on both sides. The main character wakes up to find the Navy devolved from a force that used strategy to a navy thats sole doctrine is every ship for itself. For a war going on 100 years the people would undoubtedly get tired of war but to devolve to just throwing forces at each other doesn't make sense.

mediocre at best

Revisado: 12-20-20

I've tried to get thru this book twice now and stop with around 5 hours left, there is no comraderie between characters in the unit. everyone is out for themselves. Every character that is first introduced seems interesting and sounds like a good soldier then it turns out their either a coward who actively tries to stay out of combat or only care about their own advancement. The main character is the only person who is actively trying to help the situation or taking action, everyone else just feels like useless background characters to make out protagonist sound like an even better person
