The Flight of the Eisenstein by James Swallow
4.0
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.
