3.0

I was told that it was better than most Warhammer novels and included what is essentially a love story between two rival necrons so decided to give it a go.
It's maybe slightly better than other Warhammer novels, but still too many overwrought descriptions of violence and things blowing up. It's also slow in the beginning half of the book.
However, the necron characters were pretty amazing and I was shipping them before the end so 3/5. Also the book was surprisingly funny.
