Summary
Dawn of Fire Book 5
A depleted Battle Group Praxis returns the slain heir of Kamidar to the Knight world's ruling family – and its embittered ruler, the Iron Queen Orlah.
Listen to it because
Nick Kyme continues the story of the Indomitus Crusade, as a vicious feud breaks out on the Knight world of Kamidar – and the agents of Abaddon are only too happy to stoke the flames.
The story
A war-weary Battle Group Praxis arrives at the Knight world of Kamidar, ruled by the Iron Queen Orlah, to return the queen's slain daughter and heir, who died in Guilliman's name. In truth, the Imperium's mission here is twofold: to strip Kamidar of its resources in order to resupply the flagging armada, and to prepare the Ironhold Protectorate to become part of the defensive Anaxian Line, a crucial bulwark for the Indomitus Crusade.
Yet Kamidar's Knights have survived for many years without the Imperium's aid, and what should have been a simple reunion between allies soon becomes a vicious feud. As division turns loyal souls against one another, the agents of Abaddon move in the shadows, seeking to manipulate this growing rift to their own ends. Can the Imperium restrain itself from laying an old ally asunder, or will the Hand of Abaddon arise triumphant, halting the Avenging Son's reclamation in its path?

worth a read I enjoyed it
as apposed to the other reviews I found this book to be a good read and would class it as a page turner!
when comparing it to the recent siege of Terra (mega filler Chaff) I can't say this is anywhere near the category of "filler", it stands on its own two feet out with the Dawn of fire series it has intrigue multiple stories imagination and some great characters.
as with all reviews, have a look at the books I like and see if it matches up with what you like.

Disingenuous
Claiming that this is Dawn of Fire book when it has at best tenuous links, it’s a good story and i enjoyed it but I would actually prefer a tale that further the crusade

Game of Thrones for dummies
Sadly very pedestrian, nothing of significance happens with no question of the outcome. Felt like the whole story could’ve been told in a few chapters alongside a few other narratives, whereas the side stories in this lead nowhere. Save yourself a credit and skip.

Didn’t even finish
As always the performances of John Banks was great. The rest of it was awful, the plot was incredibly boring and adds nothing. Got 1/2 of the way through it and actually gave up

Awful book
I’ve read a lot of warhammer books. I don’t expect them to be the best books ever written. This however might be the worst book I have ever read. It doesn’t have any redeeming features. I don’t know how this ended up being published.

Brings the series down
This could have been a great side story. However, all we see are uninteresting characters making completely bonkers decisions.

all filer
Complete filler. Doesn't advance the story. Could have been excellent if they have looked at the politics and the traedy and ingored chaos sub plot.

just like every other 40k book
doesn't add much to the growing story an went with the same old, bad things only happen because off chaos. People can't just be bad characters it has to always be chaos interference.

Not worth the time
I'd miss this one - very little substance. Good background noise if that's what you're after.
Also bizarre, mismatched and forced use of gender neutral pronouns for gendered characters throughout. Not usually a sticking point for me but strangely executed in this book
