Good start and good end. It was just the middle that kinda sucked. Probably the weakest Astra Militarum story I've finished. But I did finish it, and I haven't finished others. The other two books focus on one character instead of the many that this book did, and I read those.

This was an absolutely excellent novel that captured the horrors of being a normal human in the inhumane hellscape that is Warhammer 40k. 

Some excellent prose and a style that manages to incorporate the satirical elements of the franchise whilst capturing the human drama at its core. 

Really looking forward to reading more of this series.
