Average 30k book however this book is interesting beacuse the main character goes through a kind of developement you rarely see in this series.
Spoiler
After beeing betrayed by the Man he looks up to and his brothers and friends he draws strength from Faith of all things. After all, when loosing everything what is there to turn to but faith. I think this is really cool as it shows the significance of religion as an anchor of inner strenght in such a turbulent universe as Warhammer

3.5 rounded up. It's different to the first three, more like an action film. Garro is just Loken 2.0, not sure we needed a third of the book to be his backstory. Other than that good to see the women develop a bit. A little predictable at times but overall a pretty good entry.

The Flight of the Eisenstein gracefully fills the gaps between the events of the previous novels and brings them to a higher extend.
With loyalties being redefined, we now get to see the more of a warrior's honor in one of the most unexpected places: Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard. Throughout the novel, Garro is being constantly put to test. And with every hardship, he polishes his blade and grips it tighter. Such a great telling of a hero's journey.
But this is not all about him. The treacherous Mortarion, the opportunistic Typhon, the prideful Grulgor, the ever-vigilant Sisters of Silence, the stoic Dorn, the calm Qruze, the hopeful Keeler... Every one of them presents us how we cope differently with the hardships in our lifes.
With these strong insights, this novel is a solid 4/5 stars.

This was a great read, it showed another side of a conflict you'd previously read in the series, and has some outstanding action sequences.
It ties together the beginnings of the Heresy and allows you to jump around after finishing it.
