![]() ![]() After my first pass, I wasn’t happy with the feeling of disappointment and knew that if I’d reviewed it then it wouldn’t be a true representation of the quality Dan Abnett put into this work. So alright, I’ve read through Xenos twice for this review. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that Xenos is a stellar story with some great action and enjoyable characters, but on my first pass I felt a lot this was pretty shallow and the book never gave you the time to appreciate and understand its cast. And while that is an impressive premise, I think no only are there better mystery stories out there now but also better Inquisitor ones, too. Rather, it’s a decent bit of pulp detective fiction set in the grimdark setting of Warhammer 40,000. Instead, let’s say that it wasn’t the earth-shattering novel that it’d had been teed up as being. And the first time I read it, I didn’t like it.Īlright, so perhaps saying I didn’t like it is a bit harsh. ![]() It’s had video games, TV shows and all sorts dedicated to it and it’s often one of the first books people point to for those looking to dip their toes into Warhammer 40,000. Xenos is one of those Warhammer novels that hold high esteem within the 40k canon and is held in high regard by people who wouldn’t normally touch this franchise. I’ve been putting off writing this review for a while. ![]()
