That’s one way to put it

tall phoenix
#

I was actually wheezing when people were comparing the End and the Death to the culmination of an epic ala LOTR when the 3 books were first releasing, these people are actually nuts.

oak pollen
#

im mainly talking about the writing style

tall phoenix
#

LEGIT my reaction

#

like I like the premise of the 3 books but goddamn it has so much fat

#

when you reach the 3rd book's ending

royal egret
#

Tolkeins greatest failing as a writer imo is his overly descriptive language.

tall phoenix
#

and learn the editor he had did not even do his job

#

it explains a lot

tall phoenix

royal egret
#

No because I can read that and it doesn’t change the book, Tolkien legit just goes on and on

#

It did help for the movies though lol

tall phoenix
#

Id say just get it over it

#

skim the parts you dont like

#

I say this having read all 3 books in full btw 💀

cerulean peak
#

I'm lacking time

tall phoenix
#

Ah true

royal egret
#

Tolkien describes tree branches like GRRM describes characters genitals.

tall phoenix
#

*Food

#

you and the fucking "pink mast" i swear

#

STOP REMINDING ME OF SAM'S DICK

royal egret
#

No that’s Brian Jacques, he writes five pages of a feast and songs which have no bearing on the plot

tall phoenix
#

To be fair

#

it does make me hungry

oak pollen
tall phoenix
#

so i guess it does the job

tall phoenix
#

I think the ONLY thing that makes me wanna break Abnett's fingers is

#

THE CONSTANT

#

REPEAT

#

OF

#

"The and and the death"

#

holy fuck SHUT UP

cerulean peak
#

horus heresy talk devolves into dan abnett talks which devolves into GRRM talk. Like a clockwork KEKW_ogryn

#

Ah lol fair

royal egret
#

Dune is another series which has really tough prose

oak pollen
#

my brain just goes "textbook" as i start to read them for some reason lol

tall phoenix
#

Dune is written by a guy high on shrooms

#

ah yes, I love reading about uh

royal egret
#

And it gets harder and harder to follow the more it gets on

tall phoenix
#

looks at page

"Telekinetic coom control"

Dune is like

#

A fucking fever dream

#

After the first 2 books

tall phoenix
#

Genuinely how the fuck are they going to adapt

oak pollen
severe trail

They keep on cloning him with the same memories

#

Because Leto 2 wants someone to talk to

oak pollen
#

oof

cerulean peak
#

Sounds like malcador and his friend

severe trail
#

Well Duncan tries killing Leto

oak pollen
#

my thoughts exactly

tall phoenix
#

I wonder if they yoinked it lol

severe trail
#

Unlike malcadors friend

#

Malcadors friend just

#

Eats their own gun lol

oak pollen
#

ye

#

still wonder wtf Malcador said to the man

tall phoenix
#

he made him read 30k.....

#

worse, the Salamanders books

safe plover
#

Yes

#

or even worse

simple cloud
safe plover
#

i know what it means

#

and it takes my out of the book anyways because i HEARD MY OWN NATIVE LANGUAGE IN AN ENGLISH BOOK

simple spire
#

Just realised the second book straight up has a different author, they switching it up fast AF

severe trail
#
  • average salamander
tall phoenix
#

or something

royal egret
#

Salamanders when they get a recruit from a slightly poorer continent

(They have only two rocks as opposed to three per family)

safe plover
#

30k books are good

safe plover
#

can we talk about how guy haley ruined the Lectitio Divinitatus?

#

people have been jorking that book for 10k years

#

and he revealed the first line to be the most basic pamphlet ahh shit

#

"“Rejoice, for I bring you glorious news. God walks among us. So ran the first two lines of the Lectitio Divinitatus.”"

simple cloud
#

Damn it

#

Yes I didn’t think to be mad about this and now I am.

royal egret
#

I mean if it ain’t broke

drowsy urchin
#

is this because you relate "among us" to the hit video game Among Us

tall phoenix
#

Fuck sakes

quaint canopy
#

Last night I read Cypher and while it was very cool for context, the ending was also pretty bullshit. Anyone who felt otherwise?

tall phoenix
#

seeing stuff like the Dark Cells is also really great, otherwise yeah Cypher just makes it to the end, Emperor goes "Nah we need another book homie hold off" and hes like "Aight big man im off"

quaint canopy
tall phoenix
#

Yeah ironically anything but the stuff with Cypher is great

#

I also love the ABSOLUTE comedy of the Dark Angels going so fucking far to hide themselves from having ever infiltrated the imperial palace

#

i think its nice that we actually get confirmation of Cypher being out in the wild again but otherwise yeah the book is just whatever

shy lark
#

Overall I mildly liked it, except for the ending

#

Even the confrontation between the custodian and the Dark Angels, showcasing the lethality of the former and latter was pretty interesting to read
There's far worse out there

tall phoenix
#

Yeah its not a bad book, its just another nothingburger novel

#

It probably borders "mid" but I liked the environmental stuff a lot so im a bit biased lol

shy lark
#

I'd put it somewhere around 6.5-7/10 if I had to rank it like that yeah
Certainly better than the Morvenn Vahl book I read after

tall phoenix
#

Oh my god

#

Vahl's book was hilariously bad

shy lark
#

There's some cool bits in a sea of whatever

tall phoenix
#

i think what got me the most was how a single warband of Night Lords can sew terror on one of THE most fortified planets in the Imperium

#

also a single fucking heldrake contesting an entire airspace???

#

😭

shy lark
#

It's certainly interesting, and no real Imperial fleet close to a planet that important

tall phoenix
#

The wank is real 😔

shy lark
#

Wanted to pick up daemonbreaker too but not after that one, at least Baneblade had a baller intro

#

I can never tell if Guy Haley is good or mid, he seems to vary a lot

tall phoenix
#

do you want spoilers KEKW_ogryn

#

I fully read it due to it being an Inquisitorial novel and man its about as mid as Coteaz' new mini and coverart

shy lark
#

Well I'm never going to read it so sure

tall phoenix
#

Alright so ||basically its literally just another mcguffin hunt, Coteaz wants to get this shit called Soulglass or whatever that can stop his aging because he has a duty to uphold and butts head with an old interrogator that he wronged whos now doing her own thing, they go to this planet, it gets infested by nurgle in one of the rarer well written parts of the book, they defeat big generic evil daemon, coteaz and his ex-interrogator butt heads constantly and in the end after he got the soulglass much to the joy of his ex-interrogator he smashes it because lol heresy||

#

one of the most basic novels i read lol

#

probably also the most tired format ever

#

like I censor this stuff out of courtesy but you could have prob guessed the entire thing

shy lark
#

Very pedestrian plot, I don't usually mind as long as the characters are engaging but going by Morvenn Vahl they only occasionally shine

tall phoenix
#

Yeah its really not that good.

#

Theres also another funny character tho who is Coteaz's curent interrogator whos just a diet-rannick

#

he fucks up midway through the book, gets heavily burnt/injured, hates Coteaz for it and tries to kill him in the finale and Cotie just smashes his brain with a powerhammer lol

shy lark
#

At least there's funny bits in it KEKW_ogryn

tall phoenix
#

Yeah its great lmao

#

otherwise ye you arent missing anything

shy lark
#

Ah well, guess it really is Vaults of Terra after I finish the latest Stormlight Archive book

tall phoenix
#

Vaults of Terra is a MUCH better Inquisition story yeah

#

also 3 books whoop

shy lark
#

Unfortunate for the contrarian in me

tall phoenix
#

the first two books are peak

#

3rd is mega mid

shy lark
#

Just means it's above the average marineslop

tall phoenix
#

Aw come on its not that bad

shy lark
#

For Marines, before Broken Crusade it was Wrath of The Lost and with all due respect to Chris Forrester, it kind of sucked ass

#

and it's somehow middling for most marine books I've read

simple cloud
#

Wait

#

Can you see that?

tall phoenix
#

Yeee! Lemme take a read

#

LMAO yeah literally just my thoughts but better written

#

I forgot the mcguffin hunt was even a ruse ngl since even when i was reading it i was like "hes gonna destroy it isnt he" lol

simple cloud
#

It’s a really bad book

#

Even by 40K standards

tall phoenix
#

Yeah agreed, i legit was skimming by the end.

simple cloud
#

Which btw I think 40K has some really good books

#

By like universal standards

shy lark
#

Hopefully Jude Reid improves as an author

tall phoenix
#

Its the rule, out of all the shit you throw on a wall SOME will stick

simple cloud
#

It’s Darius Hinks right

#

One of my least favorite BL authors I’m sorry to say

tall phoenix
#

Yep its him lol

#

like what annoys me tho is like i just felt swindeled

#

its what I hate with BL

simple cloud
#

I really do feel bad shitting on people and I think he has room to grow.

tall phoenix
#

I wanna read a book im excited about since im too lazy to wait for proper reviews then i read it and basically get nothing out of it lol

simple cloud
#

(This is actual me not my usual goofy shitposting thing)

tall phoenix
#

Nah i agree, like its not "galvanize yourself NOW" tier bad but its just meh

#

i dont wish for this guy to lose his job ala Kyme lol

#

its whatever

shy lark
#

Ah, daemonhammer

#

For a moment I thought it was daemonbreaker

tall phoenix
#

oH MY GOD

#

I was literally gonna say

#

"these fucking names"

#

because I googled the book and got daemonbreaker

#

fucking hell

shy lark
#

Then perhaps if daemonhammer is badish, there's something decent in daemonbreaker 🤔

#

Nah

tall phoenix
#

Sororitas books be readable challenge

shy lark
#

I mean, the synopsis is almost interesting. We'll see if it goes on sale

tall phoenix
#

Best of luck lmao

#

Sisters of Silence despite having a much smaller presence in the franchise have been treated so much better by eg Wraight and Abnett.

real heron
#

Is there a book yall are reading right now or is this just a discussion of any books in general?

tacit raft
#

its everything

#

as i see i should avoid new "deamonhammer" book

real heron
tacit raft
#

i can also add — avoid oath of damnation, its just a slog

#

i struggled to finnish it

#

overall mediocre bolterporn, just bland

real heron
#

Won’t exactly say that counts as treating better

#

I don’t wanna make any assumptions but like the way it was described in the book, saturnine, kharn may have accidentally just trampled her

#

Last thing she sees is kharn coming at her

#

And kharn’s pov is that the kill counter on his helmet goes up by one, but he doesnt remember killing anyone

drowsy urchin
#

Kharn is also a raving lunatic by that point

real heron
#

Yeah which is why I didn’t wanna make any assumptions

#

Like whether or not she was actually like trampled or if kharn just forgot about the fight

and 20% of the way through gav Thorpe's votann book which I put down for a bit, just wanted to read something else at the time

Expand my comfort zone and all that, but it’s been so long since I’ve read something that isn’t 40K lol

Woop happy newmas 🙂

Hope you’re all well and warm!

tall phoenix
#

Its cold here but I am warm inside at least drinking tea

simple cloud
#

My favorite part of the book

#

It’s pathos, and also a demonstration of the terrible power of Astartes.

#

But her chapters were the most compelling to me.

#

That’s the treatment I mean, not power level (which seems appropriate given that Kharn is a transhuman who is also juiced up by Mr. 🌽 & that the veil by this point has thinned enough daemons are manefesting en masse.

#

)

royal egret
simple cloud
real heron
#

she was basically killed off screen

#

in a book full of amazing last stands and final moments

#

this is how you kill such a cool character off?

#

like ran through by what is essensially a big red angry bus?

#

like one of the cultists in sm2?

#

like yeah idk i just really didnt like how abnett wrote that

simple cloud
# real heron she was basically killed off screen

But like… the whole theme with her was being invisible. And… I mean ok one can argue about it but it was clearly intentional. There was a literary / symbolic goal and obviously Abnett himself has great regard for the character since she was one of the few pov chapter characters.

#

We are supposed to be shocked at the suddenness

real heron
#

idk i didnt like it shruge

#

just felt really disrespectful

simple cloud
#

Ya I guess the larger point though is that individual moments aside Abnett and Wraight write SoS well and make them compelling and unique.

#

And Sororitas have huge potential too but at least I haven’t seen it realized.

real heron
#

she was like one of my favorite characters in that book man

#

like right behind olly piers

#

and she got done even worse than loken like that

simple cloud
#

She is my favorite character from the book.

real heron
simple cloud
#

But I don’t mind her death I think it’s fitting and tragic.

#

Which isn’t to invalidate your view!

drowsy urchin
#

I really liked her character and the end being so sudden and outta nowhere was a great moment in the story imo, almost shocking

#

very much an "oh shit" situation

simple cloud
#

I wanted more of her but it was like… wrenching to be left wanting

simple cloud
#

Her end is a reminder of what happens when mortals interfere in the affairs of gods and monsters.

#

She’s a whole life we’ve come to know and love and in the end she’s an unnoticed tick on Kharn’s kill counter.

#

That’s what space marines are, even the loyalist ones. What they do to human lives.

#

That’s what the empire is, as much as it is salvation and necessity.

tall phoenix
#

it was very much literally a "we gotta kill this character because shes not in 40k" type of shit

#

also being killed by Kharn the Braindeadrayer of all people is embarrassing KEKW_ogryn

drowsy urchin

lol

celest heron

I think people just don't like perpetuals in warhammer 40k because of the way they are handled

celest heron

As a catholic

wise yew

Bloody all over the place

tall phoenix
#

theres a reason people like characters like Vandal Savage

celest heron
#

do they ever explain how perpetuals actually work

tall phoenix
#

No lol

wise yew
celest heron
#

Thats the issue

tall phoenix
#

just that they are "homo-superior"

#

the next step in human evolution

wise yew

It's been so long i actually forgot

the problem is tho you can also just "become" one

Thus ended the Book Club channel. There was nothing more to say.

shy lark
#

What was the point of Erda, that women are to blame for everything?

simple cloud
shy lark
#

It's what you get when you have an unplanned mess between too many authors

drowsy urchin
#

tbh I feel saying that is a bit disingenuous when we know that they started to work on the series together pretty quickly after it was initially launched, having a lot of meetings together and helping each others out during writing. Especially towards the end

simple cloud
#

Ya I mean in general the level of coordination is quite extraordinary.

#

But

#

Erda was a miss.

severe trail
#

a lot of the perpetual stuff was biting off more then the authors could chew

#

imo

shy lark
#

Instead of a snide remark I'll elaborate. I believe they had meetings, but I sincerely don't believe they planned the whole thing well enough especially when it went from a shorter series to the 60 whatever bonanza we have now. I'm certain that the thread was lost in a good chunk of the middle parts

#

Granted, I didn't see the need for a HH series to begin with and remain a hater

severe trail
#

They did not plan for all of Horus heresy yeah

#

that is explicit lol

simple cloud
#

I still love the perpetuals idc lmao

Someone needs to compile interviews etc. about the Horus Heresy behind the scenes stuff.

#

It's fascinating.

#

And it's a hell of an achievement either way.

shy lark
#

Perpetuals are cool in theory, I just don't care for the implementation

tall phoenix
#

Literally 60% of the series is just mid/bad books

#

it was basically dragged along as a bloated cashcow

tall phoenix
paper maple
tall phoenix
#

Well yeah because they all have their own "vision" they want to tell of the Heresy to some extent, you get this idea pretty well KEKW_ogryn

Am I wrong

paper maple

Im gonna say 50/50 KEKW_ogryn

#

Theres definitely some battles I liked but most of the Siege was filler nonsense yeah.

#

I remember when it was revealed that it was gonna be stretched out as its own series people were losing their shit lol

severe trail
#

Yeah I agree with that

paper maple
#

Same here

tall phoenix
#

Yeah same too honestly, I just skipped until they properly released like a majority of the books to avoid the dumbass baiting of releases

paper maple
#

I can speak on the firsthand effect of that

#

I got the Solar War out of curiosity then just kinda was left with my dick in my hand for the next book lol

tall phoenix
#

KEK

#

Yeah thats entirely why I didnt get em at first, such a chore otherwise

paper maple
#

Absolutely

#

I also just didnt know just how much more I could read about Marines constantly killing each other as a space marine fan honestly

#

Out of the entire Siege series I remember like a handful of scenes I liked out of all that

Hard to imagine

But

tall phoenix

Exactly what I mean thank you

fucking dumbass hackk

(I also wanted it to be good augh)

paper maple

I think my entire favorite scene out of the entire Siege was those fucking moron traitors getting stuck in cement

thats THE one I can remember the most clearly

tall phoenix

SAME

that scene is executed so well

Ideally we'd have banger after banger but oh well

He succeeded in not letting the novel outshine the miniature.

Which is saying a lot, because we know what said miniature was recieved as 💀

Which truly is a feat bc you could possibly wipe your butt with a piece of paper and outshine the mini.

tall phoenix

DAMN

#

best part is this is true

#

I just want a new good Inquisition novel dude

simple cloud
#

Again I feel bad for the sculptor etc etc but omg the Imperial Agents rollout was botched in 20 ways

paper maple

Honestly i dont

#

Like that entire mini feels like a joke

If you're a marine fan, there's bound to be some good ones coming

That was supposed to be the grand return of the Inquisition to the tabletop

It had to have been made by someon who had no idea what they were doing

Always glad 2 engorge ur understanding

severe trail

#

that isn't a horrific piece of shit

shy lark
#

On the list it goes, maybe I'll find something more to like about the Tau

severe trail
#

imo its a very good book about the Tau

#

it shows the grimdark parts

#

and the less evil parts

shy lark

Ok Vulkan lives is not that bad but… Corax’a making bird sounds as he fights

simple cloud
#

Legion good book

safe plover
#

oh wait lets hire a group of assassains who will do nothing

safe plover
simple cloud
#

Tbh I can’t really remember it but I think it has like a desert and also an eldar who lives in puddles of water

#

Sounds lit to me

#

Also we find out some guy has a secret twin like on Jerry Springer

#

What more could you want

safe plover
#

better writing

#

the first chapter was some of the worst ive seen

#

dan abnett sometimes does this

#

like burning of prospero had an entire chapter that was just the fever dreams of one dude

#

there was only one call back to the chapter and zero mentions of it

#

you could skip that chapter and not lose anything

#

its essentially ||woah WOAH THE GUY WAS SLEEPING FOR 20 YEARS AND HE SHARED HIS DREAMS WITH THE DREADNAUGHTS WOWOWOWO||

simple cloud
#

I like how at the end of Prospero Burns they’re just like || “welp that was cool we’re gonna freeze you now and shelve you next to the mixed vegetables we’ll never use bye” ||

safe plover
#

yeah

#

that whole book was odd

#

no way space wolves would keep him alive afterwards

#

houser just felt like a self insert for dan abnett

#

the fucking scene where 3 primarchs and one custode talk around him and hes just chill

tall phoenix
#

maybe the space wolves just forgot

#

like how they also forget they have librarians

#

"These witches are a pox on the Imperium and a perversion of the All-Father's vision. ||Now, Rune Priest, smite our enemies Wolf Lightning!" ||

safe plover
#

ummm aktually 🤓 rune priests are completely different

#

god i forgot all the trash explanations they came up with

#

essentially imagine leman russ doing gymnastics

tall phoenix
#

They turn into your average 40k lore redditoid its great

safe plover
#

i think the argument was between Arvida and a space wolf?

drowsy urchin
#

disliking the prose is not the same as disliking the writing

He didn’t even read most of legion, idk why he’s so upset about it

Imagine being his English teacher

safe plover
tall phoenix
#

I swear I could make a drinking game out of 265 saying he hates Legion constantly and eternal repeating "he didnt even finish Legion" every single time

tall phoenix
tall phoenix
royal egret
#

Like I have some definitive complaints about the books

#

I’ve just also happen to have read them first before making said complaints

safe plover
#

theres litearlly no reason for me to put myself through it

#

if the first chapter is ass why should i force myself through more of it?

royal egret
#

The best argument in my favor is that you liked Vulkan Lives anyways

safe plover
#

its nice

royal egret
#

And fucking Battle of the Abyss

#

Or for the abyss whichever it is

drowsy urchin
#

Somehow dislikes Horus Rising

safe plover
#

its "ok"

royal egret
#

And goddamn Nemesis

safe plover
#

cmon

#

nemiesis is shit

#

the entire plot of the book is them killing horus

royal egret
#

Oh wait I forgot, you finished the book and realized it wasn’t good

safe plover
#

yeah ok

#

no i didnt

tall phoenix
drowsy urchin
#

Everyone seems to agree that the point of the book is weird and unnecessary but everyone still likes the book

safe plover
#

@tall phoenix spoiled it for me so i stopped KEKW_ogryn

tall phoenix
#

Im mostly here for the horny culexus writing

royal egret
#

It’s ok for like a third

royal egret
#

Then it sucks

tall phoenix
#

"Oh wow they are totally gonna kill horus"

#

lmao

safe plover
#

you told me they blew up a planet

tall phoenix
#

I mean kind of

safe plover
#

royal egret
#

They do some guerrilla warfare stuff

tall phoenix
#

drowsy urchin
#

Dilara also doesn't consider some spoilers to be spoilers, I've seen it happen

tall phoenix
#

Yeah but its really dumb shit

#

"wow this mcguffin we ar egoing after totally isnt gonna get destroyed"

#

cap

safe plover
#

i got most of the cute assassins interactions that was the best part of nemesis

tall phoenix
#

I come for the gyatt, and stay for the characters

royal egret
#

Also I don’t think books have to have a lot of plot advancement to be good, but Nemesis had neither plot advancement or good writing so

safe plover
#

🙄

#

so you're allowed to hate it but im not

#

🚬 i think im actually gonna make a tier list

#

ill go back to horus rising

drowsy urchin
#

you're not allowed to before you've done all the books

safe plover
#

ye eventually

#

however legion will remain unread

drowsy urchin
#

your loss tbh

safe plover
#

so far i think the only ones i truly disliked were legion, nemesis and like 90% of the short stories

drowsy urchin
#

literally the only one I disliked was The Battle For The Abyss

#

(I skipped Nemesis, Salamander books and the one one off book on some moon versus aliens)

safe plover
#

its not that bad i linked the interactions between the marines of different legions

#

im a sucker for loyalist thousand sons tbh

safe plover
#

"aside from the time hes been deflowering his half brothers wife"

#

WHO THE FUCK STARTS A CONVERSATION LIKE THIS

tbh both endings are fine

tall phoenix
#

the squid ending is goofy af but thats like half the point lol

That just ends with "heh some guys can grab bullets now but I just dodge them the old fashioned way"

celest heron
#

Snyder is better than the bay at least

drowsy urchin
#

very barely

#

and even then, Bay as a person is a lot less insufferable than Snyder

celest heron
simple cloud
#

I like that Bay is like an xtreme U.S. military/intelligence fanboy and has involved members of the armed forces & intelligence community in his stuff

brittle tapir
drowsy urchin
#

which one? because they both kinda are

brittle tapir
#

true lol

#

yeah snyder is insufferable

#

acting like his movies are high brow art

#

he's like jj abrams but i hate abrams more

#

so many writers and directors lack talent in the sci fi scene it's embarassing

tall phoenix
#

along with all his dumb Bayformers movies just being army propaganda too KEKW_ogryn
