Book six in the Gaunt's Ghosts series
On a battlefield in the Sabbat Worlds, the struggling forces of the Imperial Guard are locked in a deadly stalemate with the dark armies of Chaos.
Listen to it because
Deadly trench battles and a mysterious house form the two threads of this epic story, along with the continuing feud within the regiment and the fallout from the shocking conclusion of the previous book in the series....
The story
On the battlefields of Aexe Cardinal, the stalwart forces of the Imperial Guard are locked in a deadly stalemate with the dark armies of Chaos. Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his regiment, the Tanith First and Only, are thrown headlong into the living hell of trench warfare, where death by an unseen enemy is always just a moment away. The only chance for Gaunt and his lightly armed scouts to survive is to volunteer for a mission so dangerous that no one else dares accept it.
Written by Dan Abnett. Narrated by Toby Longworth.
©2021 Games Workshop Limited (P)2021 Games Workshop LimitedThis series has one huge problem. It's name is Lijah Coo. It's one thing to have a piece of shit in your story, it's another to just make him invincible and write the whole story around him for convenience. This scum has more plot armour than a named, unhelmeted Ultramarine, it's ridiculous. He's not well written, he's comically evil for no reason, he's pretty much announcing to everyone that he's evil but there's always something to save him.
The WWI trench warfare is genuinely cool in this book, but this character is so comically bad written that I can't get over it since he plays such a pivotal role in the story. I know this problem gets 'fixed' in the next book, but come on, he's gonna kill so many important characters in broad daylight before anything happens to him. He just gets so away with literally everything that his downfall won't even be satisfying. He could kill Gaunt and everyone'd just shrug and keep him around, it's not even funny.
I'm disappointed because genuinely well-written characters are just killed to his moustache-twirling villain ways. The other Taniths also don't do shit, they've had so many occasions to actually do something about it, but suddenly they become holier-than-though dumbasses as a Deus Ex Machina.
Coo is just a cheap, badly written piece of scenario to induce drama and progress the plot, but he's in such contrast with the other well-written characters that it's just pathetic.
Disappointing
