À propos de cet audio
A Warhammer 40,000 novel.
Follow the exploits of Oltyx, who, having finally been granted the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty, now faces far greater threats, from within and without. He soon learns that the lessons of kingship are not quite what he had hoped.
Listen to it because: experience the tumultuous reality of ruling a necron royal court and battling the the Imperium from the perspective of an necron lord whose mind is split into discrete partitions.
The story: after centuries of exile, the necron lord Oltyx has at last been granted the thing he has always craved: the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty. Kingship, however, is not quite what he had hoped for - Oltyx's reign currently exists aboard the dying battleship Akrops, as it lumbers away from the ruins of his crownworld. Behind it is a hostile armada of unfathomable size, launched by the barbaric alien war-cult known as the Imperium of Man. And within the Akrops' sepulchral hold, an even greater threat festers - the creeping horror of the flayer curse. Faced with such overwhelming odds, Oltyx leads a desperate voyage into a darkness so profound that salvation and doom look much the same. If he and his dynasty are to make it through that long night, Oltyx will have to become a very different sort of king.
Written by Nate Crowley. Narrated by Richard Reed.

Histoire
Exile to the miserable world of Sedh, the disgraced Necron Lord Oltyx is consumed with bitterness. Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders. Oltyx can think of nothing but the prospect of vengeance against his betrayers, and the reclamation of his birthright. But the Orks are merely the harbingers of a truly unstoppable force. Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes.

Histoire
Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

The Night Lords were once among the most potent forces of the Imperium, Space Marines who used fear itself as their weapon. Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra. A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

somehow deeper than book 1
while book 1 followed a more traditional beginning-middle-end structure this one was more sporadic but in a good way. I wasn't sure where it was going but by the end it all came together very nicely.

Rough start, clean finish
Twice Dead King: Reign has a very rough start. I struggled to get past the opening half of the book, but once it starts to reveal the madness, and starts to play with the intrigue of the curse and the afflicted is when this book starts to climb peaks higher than the valleys are low. Yhe ending is well worth trudging through the beginning.

How did it come to this?
And how well Crowley made this novel, this series, into a masterpiece all in its own.
The Twice Dead King: Reign, once more, curries that brutal, morbid set of tragedies from the previous book, explaining the audience the very definition of the word, 'grimdark', to the fullest of its simplicity.
Heavy the tale full of similes and conjunctions, audiences, young and old alike, would be fallen to the grimmest of fascination from the beginning up until the end as the sequel far exceeded the expectation of anyone who read or listen to this Epic format.
Besides Oltyx, who is far more dour and miserable since he took the crown, the author offered great extended lengths to branch out the characters, albeit through the king's point of view. Crowley has, as always, made the Necrons the underdogs of this situation, searching for a new home from the crusade armada that is the Imperium of Man. Not only does Oltyx needs to deal this outside threat, but also from within as the king would later discover things far worse than imaginable.
Nate Crowley has indeed vindicated himself as a masterful storyteller through the use of well-rounded characters, the pacing from each chapter and the plot that connected the series together. If you are interested to read something that is different and uncommon and refreshing in the Warhammer universe then it is a recommendation worth every expense.
And as for the narrator... there is nothing much to be said about the man. If you are reading this Mr. Reed, your voice is still as clear and crisp and fluid like crystal rain, ever commanding and confident in your vocal pattern.
P.S. I admire the poetic irony that is the engagement between the Necrons and the Astartes, for who better to know obsession than that of Blood.

Strange Choices, Deus Ex Machina ending
This book was good and I recommend reading it. However there were some elements of this story that seemed overly convenient to the point of being plot armour, and other ideas that could have been better fleshed out.
The climax of the book was a little underwhelming because everything just suddenly worked out too perfectly compared to the struggle the characters had to go through to reach the climax.
However it has really added a lot to the story of the flayed ones and I am excited to see where it goes next.

Too Much Loss
Let me preface this by saying I actually enjoy this book, the writing is phenomenal and the voice acting better, the twists and turns are great, and the amount of tie ins from the first book and how many loose ends get tied up feels satisfying, I was genuinely surprised about how everything was going, and felt it was worth it, the story was satisfying, confusing at first, I'll admit, but compared to the first one, there are a lot more issues that I have encountered.
Firstly, how often there is loss, I read a review about being brow beaten by the writer about how much Oltyx was willing to sacrifice to preserve the dynasty, but I don't think that was the issue, you weren't brow beaten about that. The real brow beating was how much and how often Oltyx was losing on his journey, despite all the praises of the Necron's technological supremacy, they are beaten in by monkeys and "Unclean Filth" who realistically shouldn't be so easily able to harm or damage starships that fought literal GODS, it made more sense as it got into the later chapters but man did it drag, it feels so contradictory and was honestly giving me a bit of a headache towards the end.
The battle at the Catapult, the general issues with the fighting beforehand, how easily humans were beating down literal death machines and winning combats they had no right to win definitely sagged the flowing cape of the ending, it would've felt more satisfying if it wasn't just loss, after loss, after loss, with some intermittent victories which felt minor at best, as if their impact ultimately didn't matter.
The last few chapters were definitely a pallette cleanser, much needed, and it felt earned, how easily the humans fell to the Flayed Ones felt good, but I just wish that it wasn't so bad for the Steel Legions that still had their silver.
Other than that, very good book, 4/5, definitely recommend as a read, despite my own personal gripings with the narrative.

by chapter 16 I wasn't happy
By chapter 16 you're being brow beaten with how much the main character is willing to sacrifice. Going so far as to destroy all of their precious tombs.
The premise of their flagship being crippled throughout the entire book feels contrived, and the problems that come from it feel un-earned.
The narrative just falls off into grimderp territory honestly.
