Petitioner's City Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Read this recently...I was surprised none of the characters at the end discussed or felt guilty that they destroyed a 'loyal' AL base. Also yes, Sharrowkyn is annoying; but then so are all the other primaries. Really, it feels like a tv serial, with regular actors who don't change over 5 or 6 or 7 seasons of tv. And coming with that is a lack of deconstruction of who they are. The stories in Meduson make far better Iron Hands/Shattered Legions reading. Also earlier in this thread someone said that they didn't expect people to want to read a 40k novel without violence in it. I must say I long for the day for a number of 40k or HH books without bolters, blades or otherwise. War takes many forms; and there is not just war in this setting. But perhaps this is iconoclastic :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299132-the-seventh-serpent-by-graham-mcneill/page/5/#findComment-4091993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvilarium Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 My short review of Seventh Serpent: Yet again, McNeill proves that he is absolutely the last person who should be writing for the Iron Hands Legion. He uses them as a foil to make his Mary-Sue character Sharrowkyn look like a superhero, whilst all the Iron Hands look shambolically incompetent. Dan Abnett's Meduson story in the Meduson anthology does a better and more comprehensive job in ten pages of furthering the Iron Hands' story post-Isstvan than McNeill and Annandale have managed in countless novels and short stories.... 4/10 and thats only because it had some pretty good stuff about the goings on within the Alpha Legion.
