Why on earth are Eldar involved all of a sudden ? (hint: they were also involved in Lord of the Night) we are granted a front row seat to watch a legion of psychopaths and depraved murderers and are surprised by mercy's granted ,love found ,loyalty ,brotherhood and the pain a primarch's sons bear for his vindication.

In the end, this wasn't as good as the previous two books. It almost feels as if Dembski-Bowden lost his motivation while writing the series and decided to try and push for a big twist that wasn't really a twist.

Particularly if you've never read Warhammer 40k fiction or are looking to enter the genre, I'd not recommend this book as a starting point. But their humanity deep below enables them to grow in character. More and more about their separate drivers become gradually clear as the book progresses...

I've seen many posts about "what night lords books can I read ?" And "is there any more lore for night lords ?" And a lot of them seem to get hung up on "The night lords omnibus". Although very good I feel a lot of players are looking for a bit more depth on some of the existing Night lord characters, so I've attempted to compile some for people (not claiming this is a definitive guide but hopefully more than on other posts I've seen) Analysing. Processed. In reply, I would state: thank you for your recognition, Astartes One-Two-Ten.’ Septimus and Octavia getting away with a happy ending was really boring, if there's ever a series in which no one should have had a happy ending it's the Night Lords series.The unblinking eyes were glittering emerald lenses, dewy with a faint sheen from the moisture spray that hissed subtly from Deltrian’s tear ducts once every fifteen seconds. Talos had no idea why the tech-priest’s eye lenses must be kept moist, they were hardly human eyes in need of lids and juices to prevent them drying out. Mercutian might be a bit more on the noble side like Talos, but even he falls prey to the Night Lords trait of enjoying the slaughter and torture of those they've conquered or defeated. The entire trilogy portrays a band of genuine villains, who you cannot help but root for towards the end. This is because there are countless moments throughout that are absolutely crushing, and that would normally have you cheering for the downfall of the "bad guy", but upon reading them makes you empathise with the characters. Perhaps none more than this when the central figure, Talos, in a moment of pure innocence, after thousands of years of war, terror, and conquest, in the name of a father that hated and abandoned him, simply states he only ever wanted to be a hero. Brutal. This is part of the brilliance of Aaron's writing- Talos spends so much of the series truly believing his fanciful notion that the Night Lords were noble, that they were true warriors, even if their methods of forcing compliance and submission were rather more brutal than even what the Space Wolves or World Eaters would do. This is made all the more believable by seeing Talos through the eyes of two slaves, Septimus-the 7th and Octavia-the 8th. Through the eyes of these two mortals, both of whom, in their own way, show their unwavering devotion to Talos throughout the tale, we see the true greatness within Talos as an individual. Talos' greatness, both as a warrior and even, dare I say it, as a man, is made all the more apparent by its contrast with the rest of the members of his Claw, the warband he's attached to, and the rest of the Legion as a whole.

I may be reading too deeply into this, but the book also forces you to morally evaluate yourself. It may be a tired trope, but the abundance of "grey characters" (neither being clearly good nor bad), really made me pause before damning one character over another. This is maybe more of an anecdote, but it is nonetheless testament to the quality of the books. As with all of Deltrian’s inhumanities, it was something Talos respected as personal, despite his curiosity. A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels. Talos, the 'Soul Hunter' is the main character of the tale. Talos is a haunted individual. Haunted by the former greatness of his Legion, by the former greatness of a cause now long abandoned, and haunted by the ideal of the noble warrior that he truly believes the Night Lords once were and could be. Having already read The Emperor’s Gift (You’ll see a review closer to its release date, and let me tell you – that is something special), I will look forward to whatever Aaron Dembski-Bowden brings out next, and I hope that he continues to match the quality that he puts out.And Aaron Dembski-Bowden did not just meet my expectations, oh no. He did the impossible, and exceeded them, which makes Void Stalker one of the best novels that I’ve read in 2012 so far that were released in the same year. This stands alongside novels such as Anne Lyle’s superb The Alchemist of Souls. But I’ve rambled for too long. Without further ado, after the blurb, let’s explain why I felt that the conclusion to the Night Lords Trilogy is as good as I felt it was.
