The only review of this book as of this date is extemely negative. I really enjoyed this book, especially the Princess Charybdia and her twistedly evil city of pleasures. I've never really expected WH novels to be great Hugo-prize winning novels of Sci-Fi---they're just a lot of fun to read and they put you into a fantastic gloomy surreal mood. Give this novel a chance. I really liked it.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Torvendis By Rhymoceros Very good book. Although the cover is absolutely awesome, it doesn't represent the story arc. The Word Bearers are in it, but like the title suggests, this book is about Torvendis, the planet. Great story telling, not held down by needing a sequel, which would be great, but fantastic stand alone. Everything in the story, from beginning to end ties in very well. Best book by this author I have read so far.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Daemons, blood, more daemons and more blood… By JPS I had somewhat mixed views after finishing this book. This is because I found that there were a number of features that I very much liked but also others than either jarred or simply did not work for me.Among the characters, I rather liked Lady Charybdia, the sensual, sadistic, depraved and fanatical ruler of the planet Torvendis, or at least its most powerful overlord, and one of the main followers of Slaanesh, one of the Four Gods of Chaos. I also like Golgoth, the young, over-ambitious and though tribal leader who wants to restore the glory and pre-eminence of his tribe, but how is betrayed by most if not quite all of those that he associates with. I appreciated his rise with the help of a mysterious (or, for the reader, not so mysterious) sorcerer who names himself Kron but who also happens to be a hunted fugitive. I also mostly liked the pieces featuring the Word Bearers because, contrary to what I have come across in other books, they are presented as Space Marines and warriors and not as half-crazy worshippersA second set of features that I liked was the author’s choice to provide quite a few glimpses of the world’s semi-legendary history, including the role played once upon a time by one Arguleon Vec, a Champion of Chaos who conquered the planet for the Chaos Gods, and a huge Daemon Prince and servant of the Blood God.I did however also have a number of problems with what seemed to be holes in the plot. We are never told how the Lady Charybdia came to power and how she managed to secure the allegiance of the whole Chapter of Chaos Space Marines (the Violators). Given that these seem to be Second Foundation, as opposed to the remnants of one of the Traitor Legions, explaining how they got stuck on Torvendis and how they got to serve her could have been helpful. Another hole relates to Argulean Vec, his origins - I wondered if he was originally an Eldar Lord and Sorcerer – and how he infiltrated the Word Bearers. There is simply nothing in the book explaining this.Then there are some features that jar. After being reminded multiple times how deadly the Violators are, you see them brushed away with almost consummate ease by a horde of Daemons. After being reminded that, once upon a time, Lady Charybdia was a deadly warrior, you see her panic and incapable of defending herself. You also simply do not know what happens to her second in command in charge of her Legions, a half-Daemon herself, as their enemies’ assault and storm the city. You also are confronted with Word Bearers, including their Captain, a veteran of the Horus Heresy, actually running away from their enemy which is something that I really had problems with.Then you get the action itself and, in particular, the assaults on and the storming of the City. You are also treated to the rather cataclysmic end of the world, which was originally something very different than a Daemon World. In both cases, the scenes are over-catastrophic, filled with gore and rivers of blood (quite literally) and in fact the whole soil of the planet is made up with bones and remains of multiple, endless previous battles.I could not help having the feeling that all of this was somewhat excessive and unnecessary until I realised what this book is in fact. It seems to be an adaption of a table top scenario for the siege and assault of the City, with the hastily brought together story wrapped around it. While I do not doubt that the storming of the City makes for a rather superb table top game, the book as it stands is somewhat lame and incomplete. A generous three stars because of the good bits.
