Raptors: War and Shadows- William Crowe

[W.A.Rorie]

Anybody luckily enough to get a copy/ read it, yet?

 

I did not get a copy but did just download the Audible version.  So far it is giving me an “Oaths of Damnation” Exorcists Robbie MacNiven feel.

This would mean more if you shared how much you liked the Exorcists book. Like is this praise or....?

Im on chapter 7.

 

I didnt think about it before but it does feel very MacNiven. This isn't good or bad, just depends on how you feel about his books

 

Its fine so far, decent amount about the Chapter, the Marines dont feel wildly out of place (meaning that its not one of the books where the Marines are from the Raven Guard but act like a World Eater or something like that), world building is ok. 

 

I dont think it'll light the world on fire, but its serviceable and its good for folks that have been waiting on a Raptors novel.

 

The only thing that did stick out to me is that it says repeatedly in the first few chapters that the Raptors are a fleet based chapter, which is new unless I missed something

Thanks for the input. Oath of Damnation was ok, to quote @darkhorse0607 "It does not set the world on fire".  Which is kinda sucks since I am a fan of the Exorcists, when it is compared to the Rynn's World and Traitors Gorge  novels about the Crimson Fists by Steve Parker, William King's Ragnar Novels, and James Swallows' Adepta Sororitas Novels, all of which are armies I love and are much better stories.

Raptors "were" a fleet based Chapter according to the Fluff pre "Raptors: War and Shadows"
