In The Name of Victory 5/5 - a fascinating brief story about honor and the importance of identity.

4.5/5 Reconsecration - Nice. 'Nother good one, Sisters relieving an imperial world of its citizens strayed from their path, but to uncover a nasty surprise.

5/5 The Last Word - A nice little Deathwatch strike, narrated at a brisk pace and with a "spin-off" of its own. Established the context swiftly without failing to build up suspense. Action helps too, I guess, but even that was packed with diversity and the outcome wasn't clear at any point.

Suffer Not A Human To Live 2/5 - spacebar whodunnit, navigator turned psyker turned investigator in between jobs and the murderer pretty obvious from the start. Too many unusual things for the 40k with no real surprises. Too short to have any effect.

"The noise came through the walls of the hotel, even penetrating into the tiny cupboard, and she woke up with a start, banging her head against the lowest shelf and blinking in the darkness."
I am silly to point this out, but I want to give Cogman 5/5 stars all over again just for not pretending people waking from sleep need their eyes adjust to the darkness.

Ach, never mind my last comment. Plotarmor strikes again.
At least it looks like things are going to get even worse from here on out. Yey.

After bad-mouthing so many people and killing an important friendship to her "best friend" just for her own control-issues, I needed that retaliation. Now that the karmic justice arrived, it's so cruel I still feel bad for this anti-hero protagonist I'm reading. Everybody loses, I don't get what's the point or gain in this sort of fiction.

I picked this up to get out of my comfort zone and expand my empathy, but - wow! Rose couldn't alienate me or antagonize herself more. I can let slip she's phobic of unorthodox relationships and expecting the world and raw talent to solve all problems for her, but phew... she's difficult.

Since the book arrived two days ago, it tempted me, even though I am reading something else already. Today I caved in... and I don't regret it! XD

I certainly didn't expect comedy when starting this one, but the third chapter definitely feels like slapstick. :D Utterly British, they did not hide it.

Knife's edge - 2/5 blunt story, little creativity for assassins.

Fidelis Ad Mortem - 4/5 very good style and writing technique, but lacking in plot. I look forward to reading more from Jude Reid.

Another reflection on the Kabbalah: When should you seek out heaven and when wish to go to hell instead? You can find my thoughts here, at arcane afternoon: https://arcaneafternoon.wordpress.com...

The second chapter is mostly concerned with the Bahir, so we are reading in this book about the contents of a different book... and its sources of books. I tried the shed some light into this inception over at https://arcaneafternoon.wordpress.com...

When unacquainted with the Kabbalah and its symbols, starting to study its Origin might be a bit overwhelming - though a lot is gained which will later improve studying the Kabbalah itself. A few of these pitfalls and gems I have covered today in my article, over at https://arcaneafternoon.wordpress.com...

The Hermetic teachings also deal with what people are made of and how to avoid their ultimate Fate. I have summarized what I could gather from their tractates in today's Arcane Afternoon over at https://arcaneafternoon.wordpress.com...

After reviewing the Corpus Hermeticum as a text, in today's Arcane Afternoon I tried to outline more of the way of life of the Hermetic philosophers, their idea of piety and love of nature. https://arcaneafternoon.wordpress.com...
