That being said, there are some things Zou does well that make it a worthwhile read for fans of 40K that are a little more forgiving of a writer's faults. First, the story is very interesting--a big one that makes up for the problem with the character's personalities. There are some twists and turns and while they could have been less telegraphed, are still enjoyable additions to the story. The Bastion Worlds and the locations therein are also very well thought out and interesting. While suffering from the disjointed transitions mentioned before, the action of war is still described very well. The best parts of this book were hands down the straight narrative in the macro. While Zou seems to get bogged down and intimidated by the minutia of character details and dialogue, he excels at describing histories and large movements and the overarching view of the campaign.
All in all I found that the parts and writing styles I enjoyed made up for the negatives and in the end I enjoyed the book. It's not necessary to read this one before his next in The Bastion War novels, though there are some tie ins, if you want to skip it.
