Just Awful

By Nobodyspecial...
I've read better fan fiction than this. If you're a big fan of blunt, unimaginative writing that leans on tired tropes and cliches, then this is the book for you. Here's an example of the style I'm taking about:
"The creature lunged. He shot it in the eyeball. The eyeball exploded. The creature howled in pain."
Maybe 1/2 a step removed from "see spot run"... Or how about this:
"A man tried to help her. She hurt the man. She needed no help. Hurting the man proves she is a strong and independent woman."
Gosh, I just love being figuratively beaten over the head by the stories I'm reading. Oh, and women hurting men from their own team to prove they're strong, that never gets old...
This book reads like a simplistic, high-school level story, written by someone with some ill-formed ideas about strength of character and gender roles. I find myself seriously wondering if any if this is supposed to be considered cannon. If so, WH40K has gone downhill - did i miss the note at the beginning saying this was some kind of joke?
You're not missing anything: spend your money on something worthwhile.
