Wisptober Day 21 : Honey “Roaming through a forest of dead trees is a living suit of armour. Even from a distance, you can see the gleam of golden honey dripping between the cracks and hear the buzzing of a hundred thousand bees.” I like to think he stand at the edge of the woods looking over the field while his bees polinate.:3 (he spooks the farmers but they tolarate him)
Episode thirty two, Hive. Absolute cinema. I quote this episode so much. Ill be out with my friends and a mosquito will bite me and I'll go "wow! A mosquito has blessed me with its kiss!" Or I'll get a viral infection and go "it's ok guys I can be a home for what loves me" and I'm always saying some variation of "my soul itches" or "my bones itch". This episode is pure poetry, and I listen to it on repeat

(No spoilers) Hive by Dan Abnett is an extremely good book. It has a very slow, somewhat indulgent first half that takes great pains to establish the setting, lay out characters and explore the cultural norms of the hive city in which the narrative unfolds. It will be, I think, obtuse at times for some, but the payoff is a second half whose drama and conflict is significantly amplified by the passive information given to you beforehand.
It's a novel written with great precision, to the point I think it's genuinely an accomplishment on Abnett's part. It very precisely sequences events and wields perspectives to play off of the out-of-universe knowledge of the reader, heightening those moments when story beats and events click into place. I don't often get a 40k novel that makes me think oh fuck, but this one managed it more than once.
I've seen some outlets and people suggest Hive is a good starting novel for 40k fans. I disagree with this. I think for some, perhaps, it could be, but the initial pacing and setup will be off-putting for more than a few people. It also, in my opinion, functions far more effectively when you have informed preconceptions about 40k as a setting and a bit of familiarity with Abnett's writing style. There are more suited books for general first-timers.
Nonetheless, it is a very good book. I fully endorse the reading of this book. Indulge the book in indulging itself, and you will be rewarded. To be metaphorical, Hive is watching Abnett lovingly and carefully paint an extremely detailed painting and then, when you politely clap, he pulls out a can of gasoline, matches and a scalpel and asks you if you want to see something interesting.
Go read it.

why is it always "you have an infestation" and "oh my god why are you covered in lesions" and never "how is the wasp's nest in your attic? is it nice? does it thrum with life and malice? does it sing that you are beautiful, that you are a home, that you can be fully consumed by what loves you?"
