 <p><img title="Angels of Darkness" alt="Angels of Darkness" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/book_angels_of_darkness.jpg"></p>  <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1844165701/">Angels of Darkness</a> is the third and last book in the Dark Angels Space Marines story. </p>  <p>The first thing you notice while reading the book is the different author. We're still told two stories (one of a Fallen and one of an Interrogator-Chaplain, both Dark Angels) <a href="https://theelderthoughts.blogs.kartones.net/post/book-review-fallen-angels">as in the second book</a>, but although both are told in present tense, one happens before.</p>  <p>Also, the difference in writing is noticeable, not a bad thing, just you feel different than with the previous books. Probably having completely new characters boosts this feeling too.</p>  <p>This book deeps a bit more into how a Space Marine thinks. Questioning of oaths, duty, preservation of lives, and secrets, dark secrets between the chapter.</p>  <p>The combats are nicely described (and there are a bunch), although killable this Space Marines are real badasses, and in general the setting is really good (probably the best of the three books).</p>  <p>As usual it ends with a few unanswered questions, but it at least makes some really interesting revelations of the Dark Angels. One warning, though. Without spoiling anything, Astelan's tale <a href="http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Angels#The_Great_Betrayal">has been confirmed</a> to be  subjective and not the reality.</p>  <p>If you enjoyed the other too books, you must read this one and finish the trilogy.</p>
