I can't recall ever reading Ravenor Rouge. Ravenor ROGUE, certainly, but never Ravenor Rouge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegnor Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Never noticed a change of tone. The first two books aren't all fluffy bunnies and sunshine either. But obviously the story is building to a crescendo and all the stakes and actions just keep getting higher. Mr Abnett almost always leaves lots of bodies on the floor in the 3rd act in any case.

Kol Saresk Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I don't think it was overly dark so much as the first two books built up a type of series suspense and then the third book was the series climax. For example, there is that part in the second book where a guy is torn apart by a flock of cyber-crows just for walking into the wrong cathedral.

Redtoof Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I don't think it was darker, but the third book certainly gave me the impression of everything spiraling out of control for Ravenor and his chums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegnor Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Heh. Saying Ravenor 'and his chums' makes it sound like something out of Enid Blyton. And now I want to see an Enid Blyton 40K mashup story. "Dick and Fanny climbed the Magical Faraway Tree carrying their picnic of currant buns and toffee. "I say Fanny", cried Dick, "look at that tree branch there. It seems to be moving". Fanny fell back at Dick's brains exploded over her as the lictor struck with blinding speed. She squealed and prepared to die before the lictor's head exploded in a shower of chitin and grey matter. Wiping the second lot of brains in 5 seconds away from her eyes, she saw Moonface on the topmost branch, with a smoking bolter still at the ready."

Corsair Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I think the reason it feels darker is because all the tragic stuff that has been building up comes to a head, particularly the flect-related badness. Up to that point you can (foolishly) hold out hope, but do you hear that? That is the sound of inevitability haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathstrike_Chimera Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I felt the last book got dark but no worse than the last 2. The part where the interrogator guy (don't remember his name) succumbed to they demon was pretty sad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 For me, the 2nd book was actually pretty dark. Patience and Nayl infiltrating the ministry gave an incredible sense of the overwhelming despair and hopelessness of life in the 41st Millennium.
