I really enjoyed this short story. It was told well and the performers did a great job. Unfortunately, the ambient noise overpowered their voices a lot in the story. I realize combat is extremely noisy and chaotic, but it didn't need to be that level in this book. I would have 5 starred this if not for that.

Great story but the audio quality needed cleaning

They tried to make a story that showed the life of a howling banshee, and tried to use the death of someone and the sorrow that people feel in that situation as the hook to make you feel for the characters. Good try, but it just didn't seem to have enough to really pull me in.

OK, but not great

Gives good insight on the tactics and philosophy of the howling banshees. I enjoyed the voice acting and sound effects.

Gav Thorpe writing about Eldar -> Good

Putting reverb effects over all the conversations, having sound effects etc -> Very Bad, generally unnecessary, and made it REALLY hard to hear what was going on

The main narrator was fine, but sometimes she was drowned out by other things going on

Just go buy the book I guess

Please Stop

Gav thorpe has a hard on for worfing the eldar because he thinks it's more interesting for them to be just a dying weak race. in one scene fire dragon Fusion guns splash upon bloodletters like water on a rock. when melta guns, especially dragon Fusion guns and fire pikes are normally quite effective against Daemons since fire is has alot of symbolism as purifying. but in is this story they are about as effective as a super soaker.

The performance absolutely carried this story

This is also in Crusade Plus Other Short Stories and is a superior version in my opinion. This one is a bit overdone and hard to hear over the unnecessary sound effects.

Crusade plus other short stories better

37mins is nothing. The story is not even short story length. It's not good, it's not worth the money. If this was $1 maybe, but $7-8? Avoid this. I wish I could get a refund.

37 mins? Save your money and skip

The production on this made it impossible to understand. I actually have no idea what was being said half the time.

Please don’t do more like this
