Final stretch of the story a bit disappointing, final battle(s) seem rushed (particularly on the surface of Nocturne), intervention of Nocturne's wildlife is frankly a little gimmicky, the Death Guard seem a little pointless and stereotyped (their main purpose apparently being to create symmetry vs Istvaan V, where they faced the Salamanders too).

So far, surprisingly good -
Numeon gets picked up by Word Bearers and tortured, but Vulkan’s sigil he carries around is actually also a beacon and that leads Aeonid Thiel and the Red-Marked, who are clearing out the outer reaches of Ultramar of traitors, to him. He gets rescued, taken to Maccrage, and reunited with the Salamanders there. Bit of silly business with Vulkan suddenly teleporting out of his casket…
