Superb book but..

The narrator does such a good job of portraying everyone, except spacemarines every time I’ve heard them speak throughout both books it’s like I get sucked out of the story because the voice sound so..wrong almost child like but apart from that it’s an excellent book

I'm glad I persevered!

the first book was a bit overwhelming in scope, but this continuation got me properly hooked. going straight into the concluding third book.

Annoying Templars

They really are the most whiny Astartes in my opinion, I enjoyed this more than the first in the series but I think that was because I found by speeding the narrator to 1.2 x he actually sounds palatable

Entertaining filler

Whilst the first book set the scene and introduced a new saga this felt like a filler that could have been concentrated into the preceding and following books. Entertaining but not much happened.

Decent characters in a slow plot

The book doesn’t have a part I’d call boring, but it doesn’t exactly have a defining moment either. The book has a great many perspectives that it switches between for every part in the story, meaning that the plot develops very slowly as a result. Luckily the trade off is that the perspective characters are decent enough to make you want to listen more.

The performance is ok, but the space marine voices are quite poor.
