It’s a decent read for a Sisters of Battle book

The story plays out like a rollercoaster. When it gets going, it flows well. Though there are several slow points in the book.

Okay...Great and Meh

The singing was a big turn off. But the story was great. A fresh perspective on an inquisitor. Character development was good. The emperor loving supernatural faith was very present and fun at times. All in all a good listen; great at times, meh at others.

okay story about crazy religious nuns

This audio book was alright. The story was average. what you'd expect from a sisters of Battle book. The narrator was mediocre and after awhile of listening to the voices she would make for certain characters I had to start laugh at how bad and silly they sounded.

tear jearker.

I had a lump in my throat from about five minutes in. full of heroinng sacrifice.

Amazing

Best book of sisters of battle i've heard so far.
Great performance by the tellers aswell

Bizarre VA and inconsistent

It seemed like both the VA's and author were unfamiliar with 40k as an overall setting. Besides this I enjoyed most of the characters and the battles the author wrote up.

Meh story and horrible ending

I enjoyed the book, but there are a few things that stood out. Pacing is bad, it gets good and then stops and takes forever to pick back up. The ending is trash, I was not a fan of the singing in it. Overall the pacing, singing, and the ending made it feel like the whole story was a waste of time.

A great introduction

Just got into this universe because of my friends, The Voice acting is great and made a good listened to during rush hour traffic to and from work. Actually made me look forward to the commute home every day.

The God Emperor Protects!

An incredible reading! Story was a bit predictable, but it’s Warhammer so that’s not a big deal. The acting was superb! I’ll be happy to put this one in my heavy rotation!

Not revolutionary but enjoyable and engaging.

The book itself is fairly predictable but still enjoyable. It isn't insulting and doesn't try to do too much. I do feel like people may be lost if they have no knowledge of the sisters of battle or even 40k. I would assume anyone listening or reading this is already a fan but I don't believe this will grab anyone new.

Odd side note. The performances were excellent but the sound quality for the one actress can be rough. You can hear things like pages turning, people moving and the actual recording doesn't sound like it's in a professional studio. It didn't bother me too much but I know it will bother some people. I gave it a pass because I assume the recording process got interrupted by the covid pandemic and I'm just happy it got produced at all.
