Lord of the Night, by Simon Spurrier

Reviewed by CountRommel


This Warhammer 40K I thought was very good. But much like all Warhammer Black Library books not very well written. In most cases it seemed like they went out of their way to describe violence and gore and almost to the point where it was like please lets move on. They also did this in the description of how stealthy the main character a Night Lord's Chaos Space Marine was. After two times the descriptions felt drawn out and far to long winded.

The plot itself was fun better set for maybe a movie than a book. In reading the back of the book first I figured out the storyline 2-5 chapters into the book. One of 40k's favorite plot devices for inquisitors is in the novel. I will try not to give it away. There is also a female protagonist so because Games Workshop and black library by extension thinks we are all Horn dogs random descriptions of nudity are in this book.

In the end this novel is just so Archetypical of Black library it's only worth reading if you want something fun to read or you like Night Lords Chaos Space Marines. I really don't want to Elaborate further as it may give to much of the story away which I have tried my hardest not to do.
