You know, I've always looked down on novels written within an already established universe (Either be it a tabletop game, a movie or someone else's literary universe). I think I had the prejudice that they weren't original and kind of lazy. I've asked: "What's so hard about writing a story within a ready-made world with its lore and history?" but boy, was I wrong. It was proven to me once by [a:R.A. Salvatore|1023510|R.A. Salvatore|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1207159077p2/1023510.jpg] with his Night Elf stories and now I'm yet again, shamed into admitting how wrong I was. I found out that it takes as much creativity and talent to fit a complex story with a myriad of intricate and apparently really important characters from the lore into it.

This book, like the first one in the "Eisenhorn" installment, is a masterpiece of its genre. It follows the adventures of the inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn and his crew while the battle chaos and treacheries wherever they lay. What I love about this book (Besides its varying and intriguing characters, the story and the intense thrills of flipping each page to discover more) is that It doesn't weigh you down with the W40k jargon and at the same time, it introduces you to one of the most complex universes I ever had the pleasure to explore. It's a freakin' galaxy with freakin' subsectors with freakin' millions upon millions of worlds! Imagine the potential! The stories that every planet and every sector holds! I'm just reeling!
