About this listen

An Astra Militarum novel.

The hero of a series of short stories returns in her first full-length novel – and it's as grim, dark and brilliantly written as you'd expect from Rachel Harrison. Uncompromising and fierce, Commissar Severina Raine has always served the Imperium with the utmost distinction. Attached to the 11th Antari Rifles, she instills order and courage in the face of utter horror. The Chaos cult, the Sighted, have swept throughout the Bale Stars, and a shadow has fallen across its benighted worlds. A great campaign led by the vaunted hero Lord-General Militant Alar Serek is underway to free the system from tyranny and enslavement, but the price of victory must be paid in blood. But what secrets do the Sighted harbour, secrets that might cast a light onto Raine’s own troubled past? Only by embracing her duty and staying true to her belief in the Imperium and the commissar’s creed can she hope to survive this crucible, but even then will that be enough?

It was a good story especially the final part but I found the narration a bit hard going.

This would be a 5 out of 5 for me if the narrator's voicing of the rogue psyker character wasn't so utterly painful to listen to and if that character didn't get so much dialogue.

Generally Enjoyable

This review is just going to be about the narration. I really didn't like it. Very little emphasis goes into to making the text come alive. It's just monotonous, grey, background noise. The character voices generally blended into one, apart from the times the narrator struggled to do convincing accents. The attempt to do the accents properly (scouse in particular) were so strained that that it robbed the characters of even the small amount of vocal emotion the narrator was attempting in other characters. The book goes from scene to scene without a pause and the same grey monotonous voice just continues on, making it really difficult to follow.

Even the general tone of voice was wrong. I can imagine the narrator delivering Sense and Sensibility or Far From the Maddening Crowd (albeit poorly), but not 40k. Someone like Kate Reading or Kate Handford has more grit in their voice.

I'd love to tell you whether the book was any good, but I can't, because the narration masked it so completely.

Struggled to engage because of poor narration

Id heard a lot of good things about this book, was excited when i saw it on Audible and it was well reviewed on the .co.uk part of the site. Unfortunately the reader is dreadfully flat and monotone and her male voices all sound very similar and mumbly/choked. The delivery is very off putting and just left me drifting off to think about anything else, gave it a couple of chapters and nothing improved, i cant imagine another dozen hours of it :(

Really poor vocal performance lets this down

The Antari Rifles really came to life, but final scene predictable. Witch was poorly voiced.

Good but not great, sorry.

This is my first written review and the book and narration fully require it. Nicolette Chin does an outstanding job on voices, emotion, songs, everything! It’s an absolute joy to listen to throughout.

The story is really really good and it’s great to have the model that I own have so much great and well written back story. It really helps that plastic miniatures come alive

I have one little niggle with the book and it’s when it gets to conversations and longer chats between characters and it’s the over use of “said”. It can make some of the longer conversations feel like they’re dragging a little after you live heard “said” so many times so it would have been nice to have it mixed in with other ways of writing it.

Other than though “Honourbound” is really fantastic and the narration on it makes this a must listen. Really really brilliant

The narration is perfect

Lets start with the Story. I suffered through the first 3 chapters. It all feelt like unimportant war fluff with tons of names thrown around with nothing sticking. I was so close to giving up but. It got better. So much better. Towards the end its a damn good book even.
The performance is good with a but... The voices used are exactly the same as in other books and at first I had to remind myself that it was heretics talking and not Tau Krute species.
If you haven't listened to any of the Tau books shes read then you will be fine. If not, well you just might have to stop to think at times to remember who is talking.

Slow start. Strong finish.
