Summary
Book Four in the Ahriman Series
Ahriman's great quest is far from over. In the fourth instalment of John French's series, the Arch-Sorcerer attempts to bend time itself to his will in order to undo the curse that shattered his Legion.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Ahriman—one of the 41st Millennium's most notorious villains and compelling characters—faces the immortal necrons in a struggle over the very fabric of time, with his entire Legion hanging in the balance.
THE STORY
Doom has come upon the Thousand Sons. A plague of fire and dust stalks the Legion across time and space, born from the sorcerous Rubric that saved them from annihilation and damned them for eternity. One by one, the spirits of the Rubricae are vanishing from the prisons of their armour—and one by one, living sorcerers are cursed to take their place.
Driven by the obsessive need to save his Legion and find redemption, Ahzek Ahriman seeks the time-altering technology of the forgotten necrons to overwrite his past mistakes. Shadowed by aeldari Harlequins, and with secrets and divisions spreading through his forces, the Arch-Sorcerer must find a new path to salvation—before all becomes dust.
Written by John French. Narrated by Mark Elstob.

I'm sorry......., I could not get into this.
From the start, this seemed really slow & confusing, I found myself being distracted by other things after a solid 2 and a half hours, I have to admit, I had to give up. I put this down to a mixture of the narration and the way the story attempted to pan out.
I have listened and read well over to over 1000+ hours of Black library within the last 12-14 months, This felt like wading though treacle.
When Black Library does great, the lore and the stories are better than any fantasy Sci-fi genre,
I cannot help but think they are churning out books at a rate of industrial quantities, Please remember GW and Black Library, fans like quality over quantity.
I don't like posting bad reviews, as I have listened and read a good few John French books. A lot were great reads! like Solar War & Templar( a really good short by John). Unfortunately, this audio from the start just felt painful.

Narrator forgot character voices...
Narrator couldn't remember original character voices in earlier Ahriman audiobooks which was really jarring. At least Ahriman himself still sounded the same. Quality of writing not up to par with rest of Ahriman series. Cool ideas, completely "meh" execution.

Might be the best in the series
I found this the easiest book of the four Ahriman novels to get through and does a great job of setting the stage for what's to come next.

Alright, but lesser than its predecessors
More of the Thousand Sons scheming that I enjoy and Sylvanus’ devolution is a delightful consistency,
However my two problems with the book are that it goes nowhere and requires a good general knowledge of 40K. I can’t explain the first point without spoiling, but it feels like it ends no better than it begins. As for the second, the book has a habit of describing other factions and refusing to name them, so Emperor help you if you don’t know about the Necrons, because they’re somewhat prevalent and the book never actually names them.

A good story ruined by bad narration.
As has been the trend with all Ahriman books, the narrator brings the experience down immensely. This was the one I finally just decided to drop. I've been enjoying the story, and the terrible, grating voices and pronunciation of the narrator were enough to make me drop the book entirely. I wish there was a lower rating I could give the performance to show just how resentful I am that the narrator has a career, and was paid to ruin this story with his voice.

Compelling but definitely the beginning
Sad to see some characters die, but the threads of future story you can see are intriguing indeed. Wish there was more context so I could figure out when this novel takes place. If you need resolution to be satisfied you will probably want to wait for the next if not next two books to come out before you begin. Features a healthy dose of Aeldari, Harlequins specifically, and Necrons.

Worth the listen, but just the once.
The VA is fairly decent but if this is your first book to listen to you can definitely get some whiplash. The story is much more self contained then the previous three books. Some section of the book are good especially anything that deals with xenos.

Spoilers
The death of characters from the previous books was a bit disappointing but adds a good tragedy aspect. Sadly the Tsons don't really progress or grow through the book and they really end up where they started. The book is good to see how they function and reaction to the necrons or elder but besides that the book could be skipped and you won't see a difference.

Doesn’t progress the story much
Doesn’t do much to progress the story from the trilogy, does add some character development for a couple of the other thousand sons.

meh..
I really liked the other Ahriman books, but this one seemed lacking. I lost track of what was going on multiple times, and felt parts were hard to follow. it was okay, but not great.

A little confusing with the wibbly wobbly timey whimey
I love this series. I’m on the verge of starting TSon’s army because of it. BL succeeding in their mission. The story got a bit confusing in places, but I think that was intentional, because time. I just wish there was more resolution at the end.
