Book 59: Mortis (Siege of Terra 5)

The book is about the Titans, the giant mech colossi, which defend/attack the final 100 kilometers before reaching the exterior of the imperial palace. Again I really suffered by the endless and disorienting descriptions of the titan war.

I did not like these parts because there is little to say about it. If the authors goal was to make the reader feel the sufferings of the defending titans he did it. I felt uncomfortable enough to almost skip the book. I am no fan of the kind how the titans are described in the entire series. Not at all. Felt so exhausted by this, it took me another book and look back to write this post.

The interesting parts are what is happening besides the titans. Where is Horus, what is the emperor doing and some other side plots. These however could have been merged with other books. This book is just here to fill a spot, not to narrate.
