fantastic book.

The last church, wolf at the door, and the world eater(i forget it's title) are just amazing. The other stories were good too, but those three were some of the best short stories from black library I heard.

Great listen, when the dialog can be heard

Some of the audio is very quiet during dialog, made it difficult to listen to without headphones, but the story and quality overall was great!

absolutely amazing!

The emotion in every word made me feel like I was in the the story myself.

Great short stories, well, for the most part

There are some treasures in here. Particularly the last church. There is unfortunately a Dark Angels story to slog through, but as I said, great stories for the most part.

fun to get the short stories that fill in the gaps

the last church is easily one of my favorite pieces of lore from the entire 40K universe. it really showcases how much of a benevolent dick the emperor of mankind truly is. Also it would be very interesting to see an alternate history where angron never receives the nails.

Great Performances

The performances for The Voice and After De'shea were just fantastic. Enjoyed those especially.

Hit or Miss

Wolf At The Door and The Voice were fantastic and added so much depth to the universe for me. The others were hit or miss, some felt like dead ends and some felt like over simplification of scenes. There was continuity though, the good guys aren't that good. Which is classic WH40k.

Depth of Character development

I loved the smaller insights in to each legions backstory. It provided much more context for the previous books of the series.

awesome book

it was good collection of short stories, most were good a couple were lackluster. still worth a listen.

Good short stories

The Sisters of Silence story was good but the last two were great. Revelation, 2nd to last, ended different than I expected but you need to hear it if you are a 40k or HH fan. I was so sure he would convert.

Angron's tale was perfect for someone like me who knew little about him or the World Eaters. I was sure Khan would die. A great tale to end the Anthology.

The Space Wolves story was so sad I had to take a break.

I wish most of these were full novels.
