My only issue with FFXVI is that we can't explore Valisthea's cities outside of the story

It feels like FFXII again where we couldn't go to the Rozarrian Empire but worse. I really wanted to go explore Port Isolde, Creag Loisgte, Oriflamme and Stonhyrr especially after the time skip and near the end of the game to see more of Valisthea.

What the hell is going on with The Iron Kingdom by Nick Kyme?

I know that 40k novels often struggle with consistency, but the sheer illogical happenings in this book are driving me crazy, so I decided to write some of this down before my head explodes.

Spoilers below this point. Also a lot of ranting.

1) How in hell did the most undiplomatic idiot get command of the battle group sent on a diplomatic mission??

- they want resupply from this world

- they want to establish a supply hub

- and all they bring in return is the dead heir to the local monarchy

- to a Knight world, which are notorious for their focus on their own sovereignty.

How the fuck do you get the idea "You know what? This is gonna go swimmingly, I'll just send some ships ahead so they can start collecting resources a few days early."

Getting there took 5 *years*, why would you care about a few days and antagonise the local governess before even establishing communications?

2) Who made this unstable, impulsive despot queen of this world??

Imperial tithe collectors trample a few fields and antagonise the locals? - doesn't do anything.

Fleet master establishes communication? - Just exchange half a dozen sentences, just hinting at all the problems, but not really talking anything through.

Find that your dead daughters skin has just *slightly stretched* after being dead for over 5 years despite statis field? - Immediately lose it and give orders to assassinate an ambassadorial delegation of several dozen imperials (itself pretty much a declaration of war) including a General, a Silent Sister and a damn Custodes??? A literal companion of the emperor, mythical being and all that?

(And her brother, who fought along these people for years, is just ok with this besides some slight protests?)

3) Speaking of the Custodes, why does such an interesting character established in a previous book (part of the diplomatic corps of Custodes, but not really that good at it, but working on it) who fits this situation perfectly, get nothing more that one scene where he is reading a bit and another where he just dies instantly to some Knights?

Where is the awe-inspriring influence of these legendary warriors on normal humans?

Where is his diplomatic skill and authority, why does he just let the undiplomaitic idiots fuck everything up?

What did Andy do to Nick, that he just slaughters his characters such as Vychellan just like that?

4) What kind of idiot selected this Kingsward, protector of the queen?

He finally finds the renegade he has been hunting for *years* by walking into a trap and turning it around, defeats him and then just... leaves? Because he got word of the war the Queen started?

He's right there, just finish this guy, you need at least an hour to get back to the Palace anyway, what does it matter? But no, gotta let him live, to he can get back later and cause problems, I guess. At least give him a miraculous escape, not "enemy turned around at the last moment, because he's an idiot."

5) Then we have some usual inconsistencies turned up the maximum with the primarchs equerry Messinius not just being completely aware of the situation just days into the conflict, but *actually there*?? During a time of exceptionally difficult warp travel??? How the hell do you justify that? Did he secretly sell his soul to the dark gods, or something?

There's more with the Iron Veil being unrealistic and the strength of the Kamidarian atomic weapons not making sense, but maybe that's just the physicist in me being pedantic (and fairly common in 40k, so whatever).

But sentences like "The Imperiums ressources are not inexhaustible" just hurt when reading because, yes, for a single world like yours they pretty much are and you should know that...

That's it, ranting over (for now).

Haven't finished the boom yet and seriously thinking about not finishing it at all, which would be a first for me.

Really enjoyed the Dawn of Fore series so far (although Wolftime was a bit weary), but this book has me pulling out hair..

Like the Dark Cacao Kingdom Cookies are quite literally being whitewashed. Them specifically

“Like a roaring star, he thundered down the long shoot, and Manon moved with him, meeting each gallop of his powerful body, each step in time with the beat of the wyverns locked in the belly of the mountain. Abraxos flapped his wings open, pounding them once, twice, gathering speed, fearless, unrelenting, ready…

Fast as lightning arcing across the sky, he plummeted toward the Gap floor…

Down into hell, into eternity, into that world where, for a moment, she could have sworn that something tightened in her chest. She did not shut her eyes, not as the moon-illuminated stones of the Gap became closer, clearer. She did not need to. Like the sails of a mighty ship, Abraxos’s wings unfurled, snapping tight. He tilted them upward, pulling against the death trying to drag them down. And it was those wings, covered in glimmering patches of Spidersilk, that stayed strong and sturdy, sending them soaring clean up the side of the Omega and into the starry sky beyond.”
