A nightmarish Warhammer Horror novel set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Morgravia Sanctus is being hunted. She doesn't know by whom or why, only that her life is in danger. She goes into hiding in the low-hive of Blackgeist, in the hope of losing her pursuers and piecing together the fragments of her broken memory. Something happened to her, a profound trauma that left behind the 'red dreams' and a physical agony that can strike at any moment. She searches for someone called the 'Broker', a trafficker in memories and psychic mind manipulation, but before she can make contact catastrophe befalls the city. A plague sweeps the districts, turning its citizens into blood hungry monsters. Order collapses, death and slaughter are rampant. Caught up in the carnage, Morgravia must flee again. As the ravening spreads, and more and more succumb, is there any hope of ever stopping this contagion? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I really don't like being negative and always stress that all art and enjoyment are subjective, but I am restraining myself because I don't want to be mean.
I did not enjoy this at all. Kyme is a good author and I have enjoyed other works of theirs, but the nicest (and most damning) thing I can say is that the writing is competent, at times, but this novel is a bloated and boring mess that feels like a bad zombie movie adaptation of a video game with a mystery plot that never actually feels interesting or pays off that has some Warhammer 40k aesthetics draped over it. It also reads more like a later 90s/ early 00s Black Library novel with it's ham-fisted handling of women, hate fetishisation of fat people, and just general malaise.
I'm not having a great experience with the Warhammer Horror books so far. I don't understand how they are any more horror than any other Warhammer book. If you're advertising it as specifically horror then it's reasonable to expect more and better horror than an average story, which is ap lot because GrimDark.
The narration is fine to not good and kinda offensive, but honestly with the material they had to work with I don't think it reflects on them so much.
If I wasn't going through things I picked up, but never got to on Audible, didn't have the audio book and hadn't had Dark Souls 2 to allow this to just wash over me I would never have finished it and honestly wish that one of the many time I nearly bailed, I just had.
I'm sorry for being so negative, but, aside from the actually offensive and upsetting levels of misogyny and handling of sexual assault in some books, (Trollslayer and Fulgrim for example), this is the BL book I have least enjoyed in many years of reading them
