This one was.....meh. The last 2 hours are fantastic. But most of it? Politics, tons of new characters, light duels and more politics.

This series has struggled with a stable cast. The side characters keep changing, major characters coming and going every few books. Even bad guys, the series has no stable villains. This King, I don't think he had ever been mentioned before this book. No set up, no anything. He traveled all over, but never heard anything about this kingdom.
The last battle was great, this author is always good with fights. I'm still excited for the end, though really confused as to what will happen....more

Very interesting read. I did not love it at first, but the further I got the better I felt about it. C.S. Lewis hides Christian beliefs in the mytholoVery interesting read. I did not love it at first, but the further I got the better I felt about it. C.S. Lewis hides Christian beliefs in the mythology of this book and presents it just as fact and not myth. This is really rare in science fiction, with religion barely present in discussion. It makes for a very interesting view on humanity, and how we might end up a plague on the universe instead of a benefit if we ever do leave our planet. ...more

Honestly I am probably not being fair to this book. This is my first 40k book, and is more of a deep dive into a specific character than a true book. It goes through years of his life, from before he was a space marine to well into him becoming a big name. It was interesting, but just snippets of different times without going deep into any one specific timeframe. I would not recomend this book to anyone trying to get into 40k. Will have to try another series. ...more

The main characters feel like they got swapped around, but overall an enjoyable cast. One thing I find weird is how fast the technological advancement happens in this book. Humans really were way behind here. Kinda odd since you would think they would see basic concepts like the wheel and copy it.
Still, I'm enjoying this series. Gives good backstory and shows the history of the world....more
