Although the book is just a battle with not so many twists, this multiple angle storytelling makes it more appealing.</p>  <p>Dialogues and action itself are just decent, certainly not the best I've read. I actually had more interest in reading the orks chatting but sadly there are quite few occurrences.</p>  <p>It was an ok read, I will probably read other "Space Marine Battles" books to see if they are better than this one.</p>  <p>Oh, and here the lore about Dark Angels is quite small and barely to fit having DAs instead of other chapter, but at least isn't another Ultramarines story :)</p>
