About this listen

Dawn of Fire Book 5

A depleted Battle Group Praxis returns the slain heir of Kamidar to the Knight world's ruling family – and its embittered ruler, the Iron Queen Orlah.

Listen to it because

Nick Kyme continues the story of the Indomitus Crusade, as a vicious feud breaks out on the Knight world of Kamidar – and the agents of Abaddon are only too happy to stoke the flames.

The story

A war-weary Battle Group Praxis arrives at the Knight world of Kamidar, ruled by the Iron Queen Orlah, to return the queen's slain daughter and heir, who died in Guilliman's name. In truth, the Imperium's mission here is twofold: to strip Kamidar of its resources in order to resupply the flagging armada, and to prepare the Ironhold Protectorate to become part of the defensive Anaxian Line, a crucial bulwark for the Indomitus Crusade.

Yet Kamidar's Knights have survived for many years without the Imperium's aid, and what should have been a simple reunion between allies soon becomes a vicious feud. As division turns loyal souls against one another, the agents of Abaddon move in the shadows, seeking to manipulate this growing rift to their own ends. Can the Imperium restrain itself from laying an old ally asunder, or will the Hand of Abaddon arise triumphant, halting the Avenging Son's reclamation in its path?

The narration was great as always. Otherwise the story itself was quite lackluster. Not very lore friendly. Clear plot armor for some characters while other characters die to very mundane circumstances even if they should otherwise survive.

Weak story

Honestly one of the blandest books of the Dawn of Fire series. it was okay, but paled in comparison to its prequels.

Meh

The complex and overlapping storyline kept me in suspense, wanting to keep going to know what happens next. The use of the proverbial fog of war turned good intentions into bad decisions and contributed to the chaotic events. It was hard to tell who were really the good guys and the bad guys as an overprotective ruler is pitched against an overzealous admiral. The only complaint I have is the unceremonious fate of characters that were well established in previous books.

One of the better books in the series.

My least favorite dawn of fire book so far. The main plot wasn't even believable. Events were resolved poorly. I look forward to this series but was disappointed in this one.

just mediocre

The stories were great but the transitions between them were so subtle it made the book hard to follow along. It also felt like there were too many character story lines as well

Hard to follow

As per usual Imperium thinks to highly of itself and thus a world has to suffer. Average day in the life I suppose.

Love Knights despises the Imperium.

great

It was a good story but so many bad mistakes by characters that should be able to see past their own perspective, especially when it is needed in the grim dark.

Tragic story

Overall I thought this was a good listen, but honestly anything involving Black Templars is good to me. Characters were decent and engaging although at times they became nonconsequential. going back to the Black templars i wish they could've focused a bit more on that. John Banks i feel does a great job at narrating. you should give it a listen while you paint or model.

We Serve the Imperium!
