Heretic
By far the best book of the trilogy. Much more character agency, and much less exposition.
I read a lot of books, and I even try and write some too. This page contains links to books I've read and enjoyed, so I can find them again in the future (and others can read them too, if they're interested). It also houses copies of some of the short stories I've written, as well as links to download them as epub files that you can read on an e-reader such as a Kindle or Kobo.
Dates given for other people's work are the date I finished reading them; for my own work the date given is approximately when it was 'completed' - the date I first tried to submit it to a publisher.
By far the best book of the trilogy. Much more character agency, and much less exposition.
Very much a book of two halves. It starts off slowly with far too much exposition, but develops into an interesting story by the end.
A definite step down in quality from the other books by Cornwell that I have read. Too much exposition, and too little plot or character agency.
A major step down from the first book. Far too many bulging muscles and mortals swooning over the perfect physique of the space marines.
A brilliant start to the series and even a half-way decent sci-fi novel in its own right. One of the best Warhammer 40k books I have read.
A wonderful fantasy novel inspired by folklore. Has some of the best aspects of Uprooted, without succumbing to the previous book's flaws.
Starts off as an incredibly detailed 40k novel, but runs out of steam fairly early on.
An excellent summary of an incredibly dense subject. Easy and pleasant to read, while also very informative.
A detailed world with lots of characters, sadly let down by the book itself being mostly info-dumps.
A fun and at times beautifully observed fantasy story, marred only a little by too frequent toilet humour.
