While it was a good book, a good read, it really didnt offer any bloody insight into the macharian crusade, being as it was a third person account of a single battle that involved personal intervention of the lord solar macharius.
whoever pitched this tepid feces onto King, should be tarred, feathered and strung up.
Wasted oppurtunities, i.e why was the inquisitor attached to macharius entourage suspected of duplicious behaviour.
What was the bloody crusade, who was Solar himself?
The amount of first person character development they missed with the book is staggering.
but it was a book by William King, i.e good pacing, good action, and the tank tactics made my little general salute at times.
stylism, its well written, good entertainment; but going in with the expectation that you'll get some form of first person narrative of the macharian crusade and you get.. well. yeah. that.
