Seeing as how the only non-Dan Abnett BL book I've read is Ben Counter's Grey Knights Omnibus, I'll go with that one.

I didn't think the writing was terrible though. I hate how her butchered the GK fluff, but honestly, I don't blame him.

A Grey Knight is supposed to have no personality outside of "Slay the Daemon, the Heretic, and the Xeno! Praise the Emperor!" Basically, the reason they can't be corrupted by Chaos is that there is nothing to corrupt. Their only personality is pure praise to the Emperor and hate for the Daemonic.

Kinda part to write a story about characters that have no personality...

So you tell me Dakka... would you rather have a Grey Knight novel about walking drones just going around sticking their swords into Daemons, or would you rather have a young, idealistic Grey Knight who defeats his enemies through friendship and the power of love?

If you ask me, writing a GK book is extremely difficult, if not impossible, so you have to shake things up somewhat. Counter's writing isn't what's bad. It isn't great, but it's his story, not his writing style, that I disliked.
