Brief bite-sized reviews of the short stories might come at a later date, but this is just going to cover the new story. Instead, this will focus purely on The Magos itself, and judge the qualities of that work. That said, for time constraints, this is going to skip those for the moment. Is this bad? No, because it gives Games Workshop a reason to reprint those stories, and there's not a bad one among them. From a few rare examples to several audio-to-text adaptations, over half of the book is made up of things we have seen before from across Eisenhorn's career. The reason for this is that it retains more or less every short story published surrounding the series to date. People seeking to pick up this new release might be surprised to find that it is an omnibus length book, retaining the same page count as the entire Eisenhorn trilogy leading up to this work. though it might pay to keep a notebook around to jot down the names of its characters to prevent yourself from getting lost.There's one thing that should be made clear before this begins: This isn't simply a new novel. im still very new to the warhammer franchise but now after listening to this, i want a titan of my own!! all in all, its a great read(listen). its more than just big machines fighting, it pulls back the curtain to display a very awesome facet of the mechanicum, like a front row seat viewing of the mechanicum administration, the lives of common hive dwellers, the struggles of both the trained imperial soldiers and the undisciplined civilian militia reserve, and more importantly the functions of titan command interiors. it tells you things like how the common citizens feel about titans, what kind of impact they have on daily functions, even the soldiers and administratum's perspectives on titans. despite the title painting it as a book about the colossal machines exclusively, it also does an excellent job at portraying the intricate in-world culture surrounding titans. the story is *chef's kiss* i found myself surprised at how long each chapter was as it gripped tight my attention and intrigue to the point where each part felt like a mere few minutes. with a bit of audio editing, this book would be on an entirely new level. the malleability of mr longworths voice is exquisite and satisfying to listen to. it leaves you wondering what will happen next, a real page turner in audio form with excellent narration to boot. but once you start picturing it like a movie, the story shifting from one scene to another becomes quite titillating. First, ill admit this, the story is very inconsistent.
