Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 Drukhari Audiobook

Lelith Hesperax is the Queen of Knives – the greatest of Commorragh's wyches, and the deadliest gladiator in the galaxy. Now she returns to the Dark City, to slice her way through tangled webs of deception...

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Follow the legendary grand succubus as she finds herself dragged back to Commorragh and enveloped once more within the twisted plots of Asdrubael Vect.

THE STORY

In the darkest corners of the webway lies the city of Commorragh. Home to the sadistic drukhari, millions are butchered upon its arenas’ sands to slake their terrible thirst for blood. The greatest of these butchers is Lelith Hesperax – the Queen of Knives, and the deadliest gladiator in the galaxy.

Lelith abandoned the Dark City to walk alongside the nomadic death cultists of Ynnead, and in her absence from Commorragh, pretenders to her blood-soaked crown have arisen.

When a blade strikes at Lelith from the shadows, she is pulled back to Commorragh, and into the murderous games of the Living Muse himself – Asdrubael Vect. As his schemes coil around her, the Queen of Knives finds herself ensnared once more in Vect’s terrible web, and this time, mere blades may not be enough to cut her free.

Good!

While not the most deeply thematic nor introspective novels and the actress expectantly struggles with diversifying the voices of characters of the other gender (nothing new nor exclusive to this nove) the overall enjoyable and oddly likable/charming personality of Lelith and solid overall delivery with fantastic emotive acting at specific points result in a fun and enjoyable novel non the less.
While no new lore is presented it is always interesting to see how it materializes in day to day occurances. The action also often contemplates, and is intergrated into, the narrative as opposed to feeling like mandated bolter porn which is always appreciated, one of the final fights becomes quite engaging for such reasons. Overall, for a contemporary Drukhari/Eldar novel: quite solid! Brooks may not always hit the bullseye but he sure doesn't miss.

Decent story ruined by simplistic writing and shallow characters.

This is, unfortunately one of the 85% of Warhammer novels with amateurish writing and mediocre narration. I highly recommend Aaron Dembski-Bowden; his craft is far superior to this juvenile literature.
