It’s ok

Good conclusion to the series but felt something missing, unlike book one you got attach to stroyka 44.

Can’t believe they did my boi Stroika like that

Some times it really do be like that.

Other than that pretty decent book that is the other side of the coin compared to Skitarius.

Very enjoyable

i very much enjoyed this title, and the first book was awesome as well.

i would recommend these two books to anybody that loves warhammer 40k. I'd even suggest it to non-40k fans also.

A Good Listen Overall

Weak start, especially since it disconnects the reader from the Stroika Unit they followed through Skitarius. However, enjoyable in the long term the reader will grow to like Omnid if they give him time. An likeable enough character arc.

The reader does a fantastic job, carrying a sometimes bogged down story.

Warhammer!

Another good one from the Black Library! Engaging story from one: bright future :)
Audio adaptation was quite good.

Another meh ending for the Mechanicum

It seems that the bulk of Mechanicum stories that I've read all end with the same meh ending. Everything, and everyone gets closure, but that's it. No promise of gaining anything good for the mechanicum. If anything just another net-negative loss for the faction, and humanity as a whole. The story is good, don't get me wrong. Just wish there was a direction towards an over-arching faction at play.

Baroque

The authors over-usage of the description baroque was especially annoying. Other than that, it was a good read but very short.

An insult to Admech fans

This is like a comic book without the pictures. Almost no character development or interesting plot; just "This guy died and then this exploded and then this fell over and then this crashed and then this and then that" like an annoying friend trying to give you the play-by-play of a Marvel movie action sequence.

Also take a shot every time the author says "baroque" if you would like to die of alcohol poisoning.

Toby Longworth does a phenomenal job though. Really gives some life to an otherwise watery book.

Good Book

I liked it quite a bit and while I was disappointed by a couple of revelations it's a very good story with some nice loose ends being tied up from the last book.

A few issues, but Praise the Omniessiah!

Better than the first book but still pretty average compared to other 40k books. Separating it into 2 books does hurt the overall narrative especially if someone only reads the first book.

The best part of both books is the fights! what it lacks in narrative complexity and really deep moments, it makes up for in action packed thrilling combat! Sanders does a great job using the Admech arsenal to create some of the most memorable action sequences in the Black Library! You really feel the terrifying power a single Skittarius or a blessed Tech Priest wields. While also showing how they forces of the Omniessiah wage war.

Despite the pretty linear story, some what repetitive descriptions and a few audio issues this series is great for anyone who loves the Admech or wants to get into the faction!
