Book update: finished Death of Integrity and listened to Sons of the Selenar so big review incoming. Spoilers as always.
Death of integrity: I was cackling through the whole thing at how ridiculously blood angel the blood drinkers are like they really go overboard on the emotionally tortured vampire thing and I love them for it. I’m gonna need Mephiston to write “chaos gods for dummies” and datalink that to every damn successor cause this is getting old y’all are embarrassing me. If I had a dollar for every time a blood angel or successor got played by chaos cause the demon looked a bit too much like daddy then I’d be able to personally bankroll another great crusade. I promise the vampire space himbos mean well they are just dumb, sad, and misinformed. The novamarines having completely accurate criticisms of the blood drinkers is also hilarious. Really liked the novamarines interesting chapter culture with the whole tattooing thing. Ultramarine successors continue to be “guys being dudes: in space” and I enjoy that. Of course the star player is the thing that shows up at the end. Only wish it was around for longer to taunt the silly imperials a bit more. Overall lots of space hulk bolter porn sprinkled sparsely with plot. If I didn’t like blood angels or ultramarines this would probably be a pass or tbh just read the last few chapters. 7/10 cause it was fun I’m easy to please.
Sons of the Selenar: Renaming this book to The Sysipheum's Bizarre Adventure. My god the feels. Really loving the raven guard and salamander boys I have come across. Iron hands can be kinda annoying but the three shattered legions compliment each other and the level headed former captain. Love how the guy almost died and they just tape him into spare dreadnought parts. Nykona Sharrowkyn is built different, I like that kid. I guess I have to read Angel Exterminatus next to hear about him and his silly adventures a bit more. Wouldn’t be me without continuing the trend of reading shit out of order. Another great audiobook. My exact reaction to the last line “mannnnn fuck you.” 8/10 @ black library, the space marines need more robo pets. More pets in general, give my big space men little fluffy animals you cowards.
Up next: Sigismund: The Eternal Crusader and Magnus’ primarch book which I’m about halfway through already. And Angel Exterminatus I guess.
Meme for visibility cause I know no one cares about my wall of text review rambles
