Sabbat War Anthology

Most BL anthologies are usually a mixture of the good, the bad and the indifferent, this book is neither bad nor indifferent. It is another exciting adventure through a well versed set of stories set in a familiar universe. Each story is full of new voices, perspectives and theatre of combat.

Fantastic end? Nothing will ever be enough! I still want more Tanith and the sabar worlds.

It was all for nothing

This is a spoiler for the story “Death of a Prophet” and also for the end of the series. In the last book of the series Anakwanar Sek is finally killed, and the Sabbat war finally draws to a close. Characters in the book even say as much, but with the addition of Death of a Prophet it makes it all for nothing. They bring back a new “Sek” making the entire series seem so meaningless. It just doesn’t sit right with me to have the series end on such a monumental victory for it to all be for nothing because of one story. The stories themselves aren’t badly written at all, but the inclusion of this one just left a sour taste in my mouth.

great anthology

fantastic anthology if you're interested in the other parts of the sabbat war. great narration, interesting stories, really enjoyed seeing the Deepers in their own story and the Armaduke again

Good collection

Really enjoyed these stories. As someone who's been following the Gaunts Ghosts stories since I was a kid there were a lot of really good points. I highly recommend for any fan.

this book ends so strongly, I feel!

"From here to there" really hit home for me! And the rest of the stories were good aswell! A solid anthology!

Not a bad one in the bunch.

All good. So many great writers. John French. Rachel Harrison. Abnett of course. McNeil. All of them. Some horrifying stories. Some heroic. All compelling.

Amazing Anthology

I missed the GG series after finishing Anarch, this was an excellent way to wrap up the series as it is. The stories range from great to excellent, and it ends strongest with a story about Milo, who I had felt didn’t get enough written about him in the end. Hopefully more GG stuff comes out in the future.

It isn't as good as other titles in the series

I did not like this book as much as other books in the Gaunt's Ghosts series. The stories by Dan Abnett were ok but the others did not stick the landing for me. From other reviews, people mentioned stories with old characters so I was expecting stories from different parts of the timeline. The Abnett stories, the only ones about the Ghosts, were both set after The Warmaster.

The other stories had no mention of The Ghosts or of Gaunt. As I said earlier, those stories did not suit me. The story of the fighter pilots particularly drug on for me. Another story about Chaos infantry also drug a bit and after listening to the entire book, I cared so little for those stories that I have difficulty remembering details of those stories or how they ended exactly.

Overall, I rate the story content rather low and do not think this novel is required reading for the series.

Chaos and spoilers

narration was exceptional, and the stories I could listen to weren't bad.
-
however if you haven't finished the gaunts ghost series, there's two or three stories in here that take place after the conclusion of that series. so beware spoilers. I had to skip listening to those.
-
if you're into chaos and the imperium getting it's but whipped, there's several stories in here for you! had to skip those ones too.
-
I deeply enjoy the 40K genre, gritty, grimdark, humanity on the brink. what I enjoy most, is despite horrific loss, corruption and incompetence in leadership, the imperium manages to come out on top, bloodlly purging its enemies. hard to find that in this novel.
