Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 novel

Saint Celestine is one of the greatest heroes of the Dark Imperium, an immortal warrior who returns time and again, even when struck down by a foe, like the Emperor's avenging angel. But what happens when she dies and comes back? Prepare to find out.

Listen to it because
Andy Clark lays bare one of the greatest mysteries of Warhammer 40,000: the trials Saint Celestine must undergo in order to return from death....

The story
With her mighty wings spread wide and Ardent Blade aflame, Saint Celestine is the living embodiment of the God-Emperor’s wrath. Her halo blazes like a star upon the smog-wreathed, blood-soaked battlefields of the 41st Millennium; its holy light leading the faithful to victory time and time again. As heretics and daemons tear at her flesh, she calls down fires of retribution from on high to smite the wicked and unrighteous.

If she is to fall in battle, none should mourn as she is Celestine, the Living Saint, and death is her duty. Though it comes at a great cost. For each time she is slain, Saint Celestine finds herself trapped in a terrible realm of suffering and torment. There her faith in the God-Emperor will be put to the test so she may prove herself worthy of life once more.

What a banger

Dramatic, and touching at the same time with fantastic narration. If you’re a sisters fan this one is a must.

Easy read.

A good read with great momentum throughout, but the main battle lacked something. A lack of tension, or weight maybe. Her journey "back" so to speak is by far the most interesting aspect of this book and I am glad to have read it.

Good with pauses

The book overall is a good listen, Emma Gregory is a superlative narrator and as always her narration of this book is pure class, the story basically reads one chapter titles beyond and the next chapter is a demon infested planet about to lose the fight until Celestine arrives, the problem being all the beyond chapters were ok but left me waiting for the next chapter on the planet, I enjoyed the book but would have enjoyed a more coherent tale

A good story

I enjoyed this book and it's narration. A nice change from the usual 40k novel. Maybe not to everyone's taste, but worth a listen.

Top Tier Black Library

I was absolutely not expecting good Horus Heresy level stuff here, complete with the interesting and horrifying purgatory Celestine exists in between lives. It doesn’t hit the absolute heights of some of the character arcs in the better parts of the HH, but the writing is absolutely in the top tier of Warhammer 40K novels.

The different perspectives on the Imperial Creed, Celestine's relationship with her Saintly existences, the conflicts within the Imperial forces are handled well and show some really interesting dynamics.

Performance is spectacular and I hope to hear more from this narrator. I didn't know how much I needed a Welsh Sister of Battle as a background character.

Incredible narration

I loved parts of the story but found other elements dragged a bit however this narrator had me hooked all the way through.
