    I feel the best part about Abnett books are that he actually has a distinguishable style. Not to mention highly identifiable “Abnett words” like “vox” that’s now in common use and his consistent choice to use the expletive “fugging”. Even his references to Old Terra like the “Catheric” religion and the “dramaturge” named “Shakespire”. I’m sure there are more Abnettisms out there but the fact that all of that was off the top of my head is surprising enough

    I didn't expect to hear any difference in the mic change but its noticeably good, don't worry about overproduction to keep up with other channels, a lot of your appeal comes from the "working man's" take on the lore,
    sometimes the way the other channels present themselves can get a bit weird and too role-playish

    I really enjoyed this book as well, all the Sabbat Crusade books Abnett has written are really good but this is among the top 3 easily. The politicking and potentially devastating religious schism happening in the middle of a massive Chaos invasion makes for a great setup: the way it plays out and how the various characters deal with it all as it's happening is very well written. 10/10 warhamms novel, highly recommended.

  • @primroan5354
    @primroan5354 10 місяців тому +4

    I really love the whole little side universe of the Sabbat Worlds. It's so flavorful and lovely, giving so much more to the lore. I'm just now listening to Double Eagle and it's great so far. Good to hear that I should give Titanicus a try as well.
    Abnett really does have a good mind for Chaos. And it's better when he writes it. I gave the Urdesh novels a try recently as well, and they're... ok. Not the best. But I'll read anything Sabbat Worlds at this point as long as it's not rated total crap. Blood Pact and Sons of Sek are interesting chaos factions, and when Abnett gets into what they believe ... it's actually not all that different from what Guilliman is wrestling with in current 40K. They believe the Emperor is another Chaos God, or at least a god on par with the other 4 - he just is misaligned.

    • @chairmanzia3556
      @chairmanzia3556 10 місяців тому +2

      The gaunt's ghost is really good because it's got very close similarity to the real life war movies that talks about the growth of a company e.g. band of brother, tour of duty type. without involving astartes, you get to the the true scale of the war and how weak the foot soldiers are and the horrors one face. When the book involves the primarch, custodes, grey knights, you may think the chaos is a bunch of bugs but as a foot soldier, when you run into a demon for instance, you are royally fucked.

    • @syncmonism
      @syncmonism 9 місяців тому +1

      I never expected to like that one, but eventually I was bored and decided to read it. It was surprisingly good. Dan Abnett seems to be very knowledgeable of the 40k universe, but also of WW2 history and military history more generally. He's the only 40k author I've ever enjoyed so far, and I'm afraid to try anybody else, because everything I've read that's not by Abnett was just not nearly as good, imho. Of course, that doesn't mean that there can't be any other good 40k authors.

    the one book which I didn´t really enjoyed by Abnett... the chaos enemy was just some vague opposing force, there was no POV from them, no interesting characters (and yes, I am biased, because I play/collect chaos). Imperial POV was superb, but the chaos side was really flat.
    On the contrary take the Storm of Iron, both sides got their parts and in the end, it was much more enjoyble, since you know the characters, their motivations, what they think of the enemy and so on..
