Every two weeks we read a new book in the WH40k universe and discuss it on our podcast. We invite you to read along with us and join in on our conversation via comments, Twitter, email, or vox cast.
For this episode, we’re diving into the Wayback Machine once more to read Blood Reaver by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. You can purchase it at Amazon or Black Library, or on Audible. This is the second entry in theNight Lords Omnibus.
From the back of the book:
Driven on by their hatred of the False Emperor, the Night Lords stalk the shadows of the galaxy, eternally seeking revenge for the death of their primarch. Their dark quest leads them to a fractious alliance with the Red Corsairs, united only by a common enemy. Together with this piratical band of renegades, they bring their ways of destruction to the fortress-monastery of the Marines Errant.
Questions to ponder after reading Blood Reaver:
- Did you like the book?
- Which parts stood out to you?
- How does this depiction of the Night Lords compare or contrast with Soul Hunter‘s depiction?
- Does the human element still add some necessary heart to the books? Are you invested in Septimus’s and Octavia’s arcs?
- Was the journey for geneseed worth it in the end? Was it a compelling arc?
- Is there really no honor amongst traitors?
- Were you surprised by Vandred’s change of heart?
- Do you like the new additions to Talos’s warband of merry murderers?
