I have updated nearly all of the Black Library books I have read this year (which is nearly all of the 40k books released). I still have reviews of Relentless, Ravenor Rogue and Brothers of the Snake to do. I am currently reading the re-release of Angels of Darkness.
My reviews are pretty short. This is mostly because when I read online reviews I usually skim them over to get "an idea" of the reviewers perspective - hence the few musings. If there are particular questions please post a comment and I will respond.
Enjoy.

About This Website/Spoiler Policy
The purpose of this blog is to review Black Library books in the Warhammer 40k setting. Since November 2005 I have read nearly every Black Library novel (and short story) published in the 40k universe. Since Black Library has published many books (good and bad), I have done a lot of reading. The books are compelling and does credit to the incredible setting of Warhammer 40k. This blog is to chronicle my thoughts and my reviews of Warhammer 40k fiction.
My reviews are organized by giving a short synopis. I follow this with a one sentence review. This is kind of a "pitch" to you the reader as to why you would read the book. This is followed by some "musings" of mine of what I liked and disliked about the book. The final "grade" is a number of bolters. This is a general outline of how I felt about the book. Here are some examples,
Five Bolters - Exceptional 40k novel, would be considered great in any genre - Storm of Iron, Sabbat Martyr
Four Bolters - Very good 40k novel, any fan of 40k would enjoy - Ravenor, Horus Rising
Three Bolters - Good 40k novel, occassional Black Library readers should pick it up - The Traitor's Hand, Fifteen Hours
Two Bolters - Average to Below Average 40k novel, die hard Black Library fans will want to read - Rebel Winter, Dead Sky, Black Sun
One Bolter - Poor 40k book, everyone should avoid - Inquisition War, Lord of Night
