About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook
The Emperor’s Children seek sensation above all else, but when Xantine's warband come upon an isolated Imperial world, he sees an opportunity to pursue the finer things in life. How long can the proud warlord maintain his 'perfect' rule – and will the planet survive his reign?
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
It's a tantalising look into the gleefully twisted minds of the Emperor's Children, as an arrogant warlord strives to 'save' an Imperial world from its own imperfections.
THE STORY
Once a united Legion, the disparate splinters of the Emperor’s Children now eke out a violent, hedonistic existence between the stars, raiding and ravaging worlds to indulge their fathomless appetites.
Xantine, proud leader of the Adored and a true son of Fulgrim, wants more than simply pillaging backwater worlds. He soon finds what he has been searching for – Serrine, a wealthy but cruel planet festering under misrule and inequality, cut off from the Imperium by warp storms. It is too tantalising a prize to ignore, and Xantine sets out to bring perfection to his new world.
But perfection is an elusive concept, and as threats creep from the depths of Serrine and the ranks of the Adored, the rot at the heart of Xantine’s perfect rule is laid bare...

the story itself is messy, with the mentioned time jumps and flitting between antagonists. sometimes it's best to keep it simple and just tell a good story. Ultimately this story ends the way it began, with the added downsides of killing off every likable character except the one I disliked.

None of the characters are very memorable, and it doesn't give you much feeling of "menace" from the Chaos Marine side, they stumble from problem to problem, and they like killing each other... which doesn't do much for their image or make them appear as an apocalyptic menace to the empire.
I initially had similar problem with Ragnar book 2, where i hated the language (talking of Magic), but actually I went back to it a few weeks later, looked past the annoyances, and I enjoyed it..
so this is my muddled review.. give it a try, but don't expect an epic tale of Chaos, and you'll enjoy it.
I wanted to enjoy it...
