welcome back to armageddon & hello to the start of 11th edition!
now as always with brand new books, i’ll avoid any spoilers.
(however, at the end of the review - i’m going to mention another book I recommend reading before. not because it’s mandatory, but because it adds a little more weight to this novel).
now first and foremost, I know people may have a little apprehension for this novel, because of the author. in all honesty, and respectfully, i fully understand that. jude has had a few novels that have been a little meh BUT personally - i think this book was great!! i think the end fell a liiiiittle flat for me but overall, i really enjoyed this.
next thing i want to address is the timeline. if anyone saw the preview of this novel on the warhammer community page, it kind of gives of the impression it’s solely focused on the 2nd war of armageddon.
to clarify, we start there - BUT - we don’t not end there. (sorry i want to keep this vague, but hopefully you get the hint).
i would best describe this novel as a game of ‘telephone’. and what the stories share in common, is the location and some other stuff. (again sorry hahah. you’ll get what i mean).
i read an interview that jude mentioned she wanted this to be an ‘ode to armageddon’ and i have to say, it is exactly that, and more. you can clearly see she took the time to research armageddons history. not to long ago, i read all the armageddon related novels in prep for this, and it clearly shows jude did the same. the passion was there, and i love that. she perfectly describes the horrors of armageddon and as a reader, you start to feel that weight on your shoulders.
my only ‘problem’ with the novel was the ending personally. i found i didn’t resonate and care *that* much with our last group of characters. but that being said - i did read this whole thing in one sitting so maybe my brain hurts a bit lol.
LASTLY AND NOT REALLY A SPOILER BUT KIND OF A SPOILER. SO DONT READ PAST THIS IF YOU WANT TO GO IN BLIND
at the beginning of this review, i recommend a novel that in my opinion, should be read before this.
i highly recommend reading ‘emperors gift’ by adb before this. it adds, in my opinion, a very important element and really adds to this. (and it’s an amazing novel. so bonus!)
also - i don’t know how much we should be analyzing characters in this novel or just enjoy it as is… BUT… with my overanalyzing brain…. is jude hinting at someone’s return?

Believe it or not - it’s excellent. Three novella’s tie together brilliantly into a very satisfying, classic Warhammer story. Jude gets Steel Legion right, gets SOB right, and gets Space Marines right. I fully expected an Armageddon tie in to be poor, and I’ll be honest I didn’t hold out a lot of hope for Jude Reid, but she delivers here.
