Amazing book!

Great read of an outstanding book! Space marines being space marines and some awesome twists

Heartbreaking Heroism

It was a wonderful story, the narrator was great! Might have to paint some Crimson Fists!

Crimson Fists vs Orks!

The story is good. The Space Marines start out as cold, over confident, and lacks empathy towards the humans they are sworn to protect. The Crimson Fists are so different from the Imperial Fists and Rogal Dorn in the Siege of Terra series 10,000 years ago in this story, I often wonder if the author knows about the genetic memory that the Space Marines have as part of the lore. The characters are not Stoic and composed like their Primarch and they lack a sense of compassion in their interactions with the humans unlike the Imperial Fists’ interactions with the Rememberances during the Horus Heresy Series. There are a few in the book that show empathy and express kindness to the humans, which make them cool characters in the story. I am also surprised that the Crimson Fists which are descendants of the Imperial Fists did not in the last 10,000 years obsessed themselves with fortifications. I would have expected their home world to be like Cadia a fortress world fortified for 10,000 years. Rogal Dorn was known for excessive defense, so why are the Crimson Fists mimicking their Primarch? This is a flaw in the story I became aware of.

The story is good it is not like Hells Reach. Hope to see a sequel.

Amazing.

Im still new to war-hammer, each book i listen to makes me enjoy the lore of the whole universe.
