Just as with my other Omnibus volume, I'm going to split this one up. For my #DoubleSpin I've read the first story, and have to say, even though it's interesting and makes me curious about the books, without the first volume of the series, it would leave me unsatisfied. Planning to read the next part in April.

And here I am with my March #BookSpinBingo board and another Omnibus. Like with the one by Dan Abnett, I'm going to read in steps. For this first round I'm going to read the short stories set before book one.
My #DoubleSpin is another chunkster, that's why I've avoided reading it for a long time. But I'm glad I'm finally back in that world.

Not that easy to see, but my next roll in #BookishMonopoly brought me to "series vol 2". I had to think a little about this, until I realised that the next step in that giant of a book is the second Eisenhorn novel. So here we go!

pickThe first part of this huge collection is done. Read the first two short stories as my #DoubleSpin this month. Both stories are good and very Warhammer-ish, but too similar if read directly after each other. The first story is set before Xenos, the second one after. The stories are recommended for fans of Eisenhorn, especially since we learn how he lost his hand in the second one.

so-soI think for now five adventures are enough. The stories all work pretty much the same way, if you know one book, you know them all. Usually, I think that's pretty fun, but right now I'm not in the state of mind to listen to Cain. Also, I got tired of the Male Gaze pretty fast. And even though I really like Jurgen, it's not enough to keep me going. This series is paused for now.

panLove this author however this book did nothing to move the Horus Heresy story arc forward. It's supposed to cover this large monumental tank battle, the basis for the book, a pivotal engagement in the larger narrative. Ends up reading like a footnote.
so-soWas excited about this book as this covers some of my favorite characters in the Horus Heresy 40K universe. While some characters had an interesting arc, my favorite character came off as whinny. Not the best entry in the Horus Heresy.
pickEnjoyed this one. Action packed and the origins of the Grey Knights explained.
so-soI had high hopes for this one. Honestly I find this author's books to be misses in the series. So much potential to finally get the scoop on the emperor but he almost seems like a secondary character in this book. Also not a fan of this author's writing style.
Giving this a go after playing some Space Marine 2. Really want to dig into some Warhammer 40k lore. Enjoying it so far.
