Tolmeus Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM Might as well start a new thread for this one, right? So far I am 50 pages in (310 total). I like it. It introduces rather early a mixture of action and intrigues one may know well from the Night Lord Omnibus of Aaron-Dembski Bowden, which really is a good sign. Once I finish it, I will give a more conclusive review. Feel free to share your thoughts on this one.

sitnam Posted Thursday at 09:05 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:05 PM Definitely gonna keep track, I'm interested but I didn't like the ABD trilogy and it kind of killed my interest in Night Lords. I did like one of Vincents short stories though, so we'll see theSpirea 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386829-the-remnant-blade-mike-vincent/#findComment-6134698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't connect with any of the main characters. I actively hated most of them actually. 2. I wasn't a big fan of the voice acting. 3. Didn't care for the plot. The story is character focused, and I didn't think the plot was strong enough on its own. Since I didn't like the characters, it just didn't work for me. Looking back, I think the trilogy is better then I gave it credit. I really think the biggest issue was all the hype it got. I just wasn't blown away like I thought I was gonna be. Black Legion was just way more interesting as a CSM series.

Agreed there, I had already read the series but if I had to do the audio version exclusively, I probably wouldn't have finished it *also, Audible put Remnant Blade up this morning if anyone else was waiting for it Edited 13 hours ago by darkhorse0607 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386829-the-remnant-blade-mike-vincent/#findComment-6134815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roomsky Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Yeah ADB's one of the authors I always recommend be read rather than listened to, his quality of prose in an important element in what makes his books good. I thought the audiobook narrator was quite talented but I disliked how his character voices often skewed how a character was perceived. I also find positive comparisons to the Night Lords trilogy a great sign and am excited to get to this one eventually (boy I sure do love paperback delay.) If this continues the trend of Lord of the Night and ADB's trilogy, 40k Night Lords have one of the best legion hotstreaks in the stable (shame about their Heresy books, though.)

I also wonder how it compares to this one. I think it's bizarre they didn't put this one under the Renegades series. Harrowmaster and Lord of Excess were great Roomsky 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386829-the-remnant-blade-mike-vincent/#findComment-6134876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
