John Grammaticus has arrived and I’m putting this book down for now

I think it’s really funny that out of the 18* brothers, none of them really wanted to be warmaster and a rebellion would’ve happened regardless of who was chosen. Would the other rebellions be as bad as the heresy? Probably not but it definitely would’ve been bad. If Bobby G was made warmaster I guarantee a few legions would rebel from all the new rules they’d have to deal with.

Big E should’ve made one of his autistic sons the warmaster instead of the only normal guy he had on hand.

To really appreciate the scale of how awful things have become you have to remember it took the Emperor nearly 1,000* years to take control of Terra during the unification wars. Then with aid of his 18* Demi-god sons and their respective legions the great crusade conquered almost the entire known galaxy in 250 years. The Heresy took 7* years. Billions are dead, whole worlds are gone and the scouring has just begun.

This might be the biggest scientific blunder of the entire series.

An elf who’s lived his entire life underground encounters a skunk on day one is insane

Somewhat off topic from the book but I can’t stop thinking about that infamous picture of the mountain of buffalo skulls. If you haven’t seen it I recommend you do, to me it’s the embodiment of extinction.

They were power scaling the knights of the round table in the 16th century

A book written in the late 1500s/ early 1600s, translated in the early 1900s and now as of last year an audiobook. The reader cautions that the book reads like an old grandfather retelling his past tales. Already know it’s gonna be a 5/5 star kind of book.

Fellas, is it gay to share a bed and trade kisses on the nose with a pagan savage? Asking for a sailor.

So far this books taught
Me a lot of whale facts and that it’s frowned upon to sell shrunken heads during sabbath

I bet the first 30 minutes of this book filters out a lot of people who can’t be bothered to listen to quotes about hunting whales and various whale corpse activities and Nantucket lore.

There’s a lot less tank fighting than I expected in my book about tanks

“Honey, have you ever known anyone to accuse me of using anything less than excessive force?” Dawg I’m gonna cry

Empaths exist in the alien cannon now

Boston Massachusetts mentioned again..

OH

Every chapter half way through I just keep thinking “oh that’s another war crime”
