Dawn of Fire Book 5

A depleted Battle Group Praxis returns the slain heir of Kamidar to the Knight world's ruling family – and its embittered ruler, the Iron Queen Orlah.

Listen to it because

Nick Kyme continues the story of the Indomitus Crusade, as a vicious feud breaks out on the Knight world of Kamidar – and the agents of Abaddon are only too happy to stoke the flames.

The story

A war-weary Battle Group Praxis arrives at the Knight world of Kamidar, ruled by the Iron Queen Orlah, to return the queen's slain daughter and heir, who died in Guilliman's name. In truth, the Imperium's mission here is twofold: to strip Kamidar of its resources in order to resupply the flagging armada, and to prepare the Ironhold Protectorate to become part of the defensive Anaxian Line, a crucial bulwark for the Indomitus Crusade.

Yet Kamidar's Knights have survived for many years without the Imperium's aid, and what should have been a simple reunion between allies soon becomes a vicious feud. As division turns loyal souls against one another, the agents of Abaddon move in the shadows, seeking to manipulate this growing rift to their own ends. Can the Imperium restrain itself from laying an old ally asunder, or will the Hand of Abaddon arise triumphant, halting the Avenging Son's reclamation in its path?

Weak story

The narration was great as always. Otherwise the story itself was quite lackluster. Not very lore friendly. Clear plot armor for some characters while other characters die to very mundane circumstances even if they should otherwise survive.

Meh

Honestly one of the blandest books of the Dawn of Fire series. it was okay, but paled in comparison to its prequels.

just mediocre

My least favorite dawn of fire book so far. The main plot wasn't even believable. Events were resolved poorly. I look forward to this series but was disappointed in this one.

Hard to follow

The stories were great but the transitions between them were so subtle it made the book hard to follow along. It also felt like there were too many character story lines as well

Love Knights despises the Imperium.

As per usual Imperium thinks to highly of itself and thus a world has to suffer. Average day in the life I suppose.

A book that should have been a stand alone and not the middle part of a series

Well I finished the book and I got to say I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand if you love Imperial Knights and wanted to see how a imperial knights planets culture and a planet whose militaries power is centered around mechs the size of houses and just the sheer sundering power of imperial Knights and learn why these mechs are called god machines your gonna enjoy this. But if your looking for a continuation of the Dawn of Fire series overall plot your out of luck. Most of this book is setting up this last half of the series and tying up loose ends from the previous four books. Their are a few surprising moments but nothing massive that won’t probably be addressed next book. But again if your a fan of Knights it’s a pretty good read it’s just a shame it’s not a stand alone book.

Not really worth it

To me this book feels like a filler episode for a series. Nothing important the the plot. The only good thing is the Narrator.

interesting

The contained narrative is okay it's not bad not great it's just kind of there it is but overall it seems like this book was designed to set up a lot of plot hooks and points for later storylines and maybe fill in a little bit of things from the other books.
would suggest not reading it as a solo or in this case listening as a solo book on its own if you not going for the whole dawn of fire series you could probably pass it otherwise there's nothing wrong with it

The Imperium Creates Its Own Problems... Again

This story is mainly set up for future events with a little bit of closure from a previous entry. Please read it to get a sense of upcoming events as the saga is really starting to pick up. Also, this story features heavily with knight combat so mecha fans will be happy about it!

great

the story is getting real interesting. LOVED the last hour. An the view of a knight world. great work. can not wait for the next one!
