i haven't posted about void king in a hot minute but i've read more than half of it and 1. the story isn't going anywhere, there's one event i thought should've been resolved in a few chapters and is actually taking the majority of the book, to the point where i'm wondering what else is going to happen because there's not time and space to develop anything else and 2. one of the co-protagonists is constantly being described as a degenerate ( 😐 ) untrustworthy snake and there's constant attention being called by both other protags and the narrator to the way he dresses and talks and how much drugs and drinking he does, how hedonistic he is and how weird his vassals are BUT he has yet to do anything remotely suspicious, so what conclusion am I meant to be reaching? that he's bad because he's foppish?????? what?????? like????????? i know this is a wh40k book and not undercut mcqueer literature but i have to laugh

I'm on page 62 of void king and oomfies, let me be so real with you, it's so boring. The characters are walking stereotypes, you got the eccentric flamboyant one, you got the battle hardened viking that's obsessed with hunting one, you got the admech that only cares about logic one, you got the abusive father one. yawn.

changed my url to be fully blood angels themed

tbh given my years of fandom it should not be this surprising but nevertheless i am always caught off guard when i visit any primarch's tags and nearly all of the posts are imagines or self insert fics and the like, i guess no shade, i just haven't experienced things like these since fallout 2015

christening this blog by starting to liveblog void king by marc collins, which i have heard NOTHING about but well, i have it
