Wow wow wowsy wow.

After the recent dross released which haven't done anything for the story Deathfire comes right back with an excellent story which had me reading with glee until the very last page and the last page hit me right between the eyes in a way that only Fulgrim did before hand.

I was truly expecting the story to end on a cliffhanger with Numeon dying and nothing else happening but Vulkans return just made me "oh my god" out loud.

The battles throughout the novel are very well done and especially the ones at the end on Nocture itself.

I loved Thiel's Red Marked Ultramarines. I hope he/they get more air time and we get to see which if any Chapter he founds at the 2nd Founding.

The traitors are presented well too and the Death Guard get some much needed fleshing out and showing just how evil they are.

All in all we need more novels like this.

Whoa, so the first post wasn't sarcasm? I haven't read the book so I can't judge it but...

Why do you perceive the Death Guard to be evil? Some could argue some of the Legions have fallen to being "evil" (the slaughter of civilians of Terra by the EC, the general massacres done by Khorne's followers, the harshness of later Imperial forces, the Night Lords in general), but the Death Guard haven't struck me as particularly evil.

Or at least so far, really. Sure, they might have a low opinion of humans, but that's not necessarily evil.

TBH I really don't care if:

A - You feel it was well discussed - I've read that thread and it's mostly a bunch of negative opinions on Nick Kyme and his stories, non of which I agree with. There were some positive opinions which I agreed with but I'm not going to join in the arguments there.
B - You dislike the book - I enjoyed the plot, I thought the characterisation was done well and enjoyed the storyline. You're all free to dislike the book, that's your opinions and that's fine.

As a final thought I think this thread just shows how this forum has developed. IMO it's no longer a place where I feel my opinion is welcome. That's fine, no-one forces me to come here. It's like I have a morbid fascination on what people are hating on now that keeps me coming back here. However at least I now have the evidence on what happens if I post something which dares to break from the general consensus of hate which seems to pervade these forums now.

Nick Kyme, is that you?

Haha...in all seriousness, get some thicker skin mate. Not agreeing with your opinion does not equal not welcoming your opinion.

I also thought you were being sarcastic as "wow, wow, wowy" seems to be rather over the top

I looked at the thread and was actually kind of hopeful. Lol. Hopefully they get it back in flux.

I am probably 100 pages from the finish and I like it quite a bit. Not my favorite, but it succeeds in entertaining me.

Action scenes have been nice and brutal and the characters are good enough, quite a few memorable quotes even.

All in all I'm enjoying it.

'Vulkan Lives' by any chance? It really should be memorable by now.

I have just been bought the book. Should I turn the first page or just use it as a door stop?

Why are you not sticking models to it, and spray-painting them?
