Summary

Holy warbringer of the Legio Metalica, the Imperator Titan Casus Belli has routed armies and levelled cities over 10,000 years of service in the name of the Machine God. 

As war engulfs the Dark Imperium, this mechanical god of battle arrives to destroy the renegade armies and tech-priests of Nicomedua. At the head of a battlegroup of Titans, Imperial Knights and skitarii, Casus Belli must defeat tainted war engines, Traitor Legionnares and armies of cultists. 

While apocalyptic battles rage across the planet, a no less deadly battle unfolds within the Titan itself, as Magos Exasus, leader of the Casus Belli’s Tech-guard, must find and defeat the enemy within before their insidious plans come to fruition.

Jarring at best

Well this was painful. At best this would be an okay story on par with most of Gav Thorpe's other works but the whole "gender" pronoun usage feels forced and overused, along with the mechanicus noosphere being buchered and feeling like it had been written by a five year old. As soon as any mechanicus member entered the story all sense of immersion was lost.

PRONOUNS!!!

Amateurish writing due to the usage of too many pronouns being used and the backtracking to plug holes in the story.

Detailed titan inner struggle, despite author.

A bit Imersion shattering because of author insistence of showling non gender respect. Instead of letting the Caracter be itself. This led to my Imersion being broken every time this Caracter was referred to. Shame since other wise I love the story and detail of the titan innards.

Writer ever read the lore?

The writer ignored a major part of the lore that renders one of the main characters irrelevant if the book was placed in context with the warhammer 40k universe.

Not what I wanted

So my issue steams from the fact I didn't really find the story that good, some decent twists but not entertaining, I was expecting it to be more about titan vs titan, almost a wrath of khan kind of book, but instead its about a genderless dominuss, and some tributie wasn't really about titan action, or definitely not enough for me.

let down by authors personal politics

I enjoy any book about titans of the mechanicus as they're my favourite overpriced unit in warhammer but I just couldn't into this, the use of non-gendered pronouns took out any immersion I had. they felt unnecessary and lore wise I don't think that sort of thing fits in with the setting especially with a faction that cares more for toasters than what pronouns something uses. Otherwise it was okay though I wouldn't recommend.

Alas - Honestly couldnt even finish it,

I almost requested an immidiate refund on purchase and now fully regret my decision.

In the GRIM DARK FUTURE..... PRONOUNS ARE IMPORTANT .... TO the.... mechanicus of all ppl.

The book starts with an authors note (which they could have skipped and subsequently brought less light to the other wise not so noticable fact) informing us that a member of the mechanicus who has since replaced most of their parts with cyberneticus and thus shall be refered to by Vis, Ve, Vem, Ver

there is no space for this nonsense in the Grim dark 40k. ive no objection to a character in the story in ONE instance correcting someone who may have refered to them by he/she and indicated that since they gave up all organics they consider themselves objectively genderless and pref Vis Ve blah blah.... BUT no its stamped in ur face before the story even begins and no justification is given in the book, (there is a conversation with another similar cybernatical couterpart who goes by She and no conversation discussing the merits of one of the other ocurrs or anything to merit WHY it was so clearly popinted out to us at start over what is a clear attempt at virtue signalling.)

thats just the start.

The book attempts to maintain a mystery throughout the first 70% of book but does so very poorly and ultimately derps at the deliverance to make it at that point rather lack luster.

The story is FULL of DERP TO DERP moments of stupidity. idiocy or just incompetance which propells the story forward.

At the near end of book where i have since abandonned it, you lose the only remaining semi competant seeming protagonist and are left with some not just flawed (because flaws can be intriguing and make sometimes for great characters) but utterly incompetant and entirely unlikely to succeed now apparent protagonists.

This part is likely biased based on the introduction to the book as briefed before and this 'culture war of woke' that we find ourselves surrounded by, but the only seeminly male lead well SPOILERS dead and useless and left with an even more TOTALLY useless female mechanicus who has been fumbling throuhg the story so far and the genderless mechanicus. Both who have so far through the book been prime examples of DERPY bad 40k meme worthy writing.

Anyway i had hoped for good titan story following the books predecessor but alas its a total mess and the least of anything is titans.

Oh also the eletronic conversations via the neurosphere are horrible to read and disjointed, it may work in read format but not audio.

you will see most of my prior 40k reviews have been 4 to 5 star and have enjoyed the experiences. this time i HAD to leave a scathing review to demonstrate how disapointed i was with it all. I do not intend to finish the book.

fantastic!

Cannot recommend "Imperator: Wrath of the Omnissiah" enough
- fantastic characters, great story, really clever play on words with genderless characters and all round really enjoyable... only downside... the story concluded, in a very good way but was left wanting to no what happens next for Ghelsa .

hoping you don't forget about her Gav Thorpe! :D

Boring

I’ve read over 100 48k and warhammer books and I’ve enjoyed the vast majority of them. This one while ok, never grabbed me and the main characters were very forgettable. It is narrated well enough. The story itself however really slow. Never given a negative review before but after slogging my way through this one I felt compelled to warn people. In conclusion narration good, characters forgettable and story not worth working through.
