Oh boy...any chance you can elaborate on how (either in Spoiler tab or PM)? I'm wondering if this could be what finally tips me into traitor Emperor's Children...
Yeah...and another guy called Jubal is the current Chapter MasterWell its certainly a tradition that have been kept in the white scars since the horus heresy.
Korsarro khan being the current master of the hunt.
This was a good book. There was a heck of a lot going on, but it was all resolved satisfactorily. A small bit of course-correction for some things as well. Maybe one slightly superfluous plot element, but it did give some screen time that some people will probably appreciate. I think fans of most of the legions represented will be happy enough with what goes on.
I need more of my man, stat.Arvida
I skimmed a lot of the generic fighting tbh, sometimes the scale of legion combats can be a bit wearing; yeah, you have to show loads of guys and things fighting and blowing up because of the setting, but I personally find that slightly tedious with a new book when you just want to get to the character moments in those battles. Sure I will appreciate it on re-reads. And there are cool bits in the fighting, it's not bolter-slog, I should hasten to add.
But it's a character and plot-movement book. Central to the wider story, this.
They are great indeedThe action, fleet movements etc. are dense in this one
Not gratuitous but potentially confusing at times. I prefer character moments
Scars is one of the best legion-building HH novels...perhaps not one of the best character-building novels. I think Yesugai has a lot of room for further development.
This is part of a conversation we had in another thread. Well...need I say more? :-(That said, I think Qin Xa definitely deserves some more development. He's mentioned as the #1 fighter of his legion (even though Jubal seems to be more well-known outside his legion). We didn't get to see his personality in Scars
