Not as good as The Traitor's Hand

Revisado: 06-17-23

I’ll keep it brief. By the end of this story, I wanted nothing more but to strangle Cain for what can only be described as purposeful ignorance, as if he were ignoring information on purpose for the sake of dragging out the story.

The fact that I, the listener, can figure out what’s going on and what needs to be done several paragraphs, if not an entire chapters, in advance isn’t entertaining, it’s boarder-line torture. The characters also do things, and lack-thereof, that completely derailed my sense of disbelief.

Yeah yeah, I have more knowledge of the setting than any inquisitor or character inhabiting the Warhammer 40k universe could possibly have, but I’m certain even a new-comer who knows nothing about said universe would have come to the same conclusions as I did.

That and the narrator seems to have changed Emeli’s voice for some reason, which is quite disappointing, of which can be said about my feeling for this audio book overall.

A little disappointed by this one.

Overall, a good story, but I didn’t get much out of this one compared to the previous books. Not a big fan of internal sabotage plots, much like a previous book’s attempt(s), and there was a lot less action than previous books. Adding to this, I didn’t like how the true perpetrators came back to the fleet, feeling more like a repeat than anything new. A revenge plot from those that made the Black Ships would have been preferable. More so, the new aliens felt like an excuse just to get Geary away from said sabotage plot so it could sort itself out. At least having the humans jump into the lake just to get a rise out of said aliens would have been worth the sub-plot, but oh well.

Rummel’s performance was also different, enough to somehow distract me, and I can’t really explain why; perhaps a different microphone? If it was a better microphone, it had somehow, again, distracted me from the story, and actually detracted from my enjoyment. Strange how better audio quality can do that to a listener, or perhaps it’s just me. Then again, getting used to listening to how someone narrates a series of books, only for it to change at enough of a degree to be noticeable, may be a thing to human psychology.
