Ciaphas Cain: Choose Your Enemies: Choose Your Enemies (Volume 10)

Product Information

I really like the humor all around the book, some of the explanation passages or some descriptive areas got me nearly bored but overall the reading experience has been positive and entertaining. Getting back to this series was fun, especially speculating with my partner about the upcoming plot. In this five-part series, US happiness expert and positive psychologist Michelle Gielan and British journalist and author Oliver Burkeman explore ways to become truly happier, backed up by scientific evidence. Following multiple engagements against the Eldar, the Valhallan 597th are dispatched to Ironfound amid a Chaos uprising.

There are far more descriptions and humourous takes used to make it feel fresh in this regard, and equally the way in which Cain stumbles into the narrative works well. This deeply personal and supportive series offers listeners an honest and relatable insight into how some the UK's best-known celebrities have coped with mental health difficulties, ranging from OCD to insomnia, addiction to grief, and depression to anxiety. What I wasn't prepared for was one of the few novels where the eldar are presented as competent and where an Avatar of Khaine actually carries its weight, and more, in battle. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat – and despite being book ten this is as good a place to start as any.It goes from having an intense and well executed final act, to abruptly racing through to the ending, and resolving things far too cleanly. However, I understand the decision to not elaborate on that, since, I mean its a Warhammer 40K book. While hardly the worst example put onto paper, the efforts to reflect Cain's less formulaic style often interferes with the finer parts of pacing a book. Almost like a compilation album of the best bits of the series so far - a couple of the best tracks about the Tau, the Inquisition, the AdMech, the 'Nids, and Space Marines all mixed into a glorious whole.

In most prior stories, the rapid wrap-up was far better justified, either by diverting one enemy into fighting another, or intervention by another force.This allows her to have a greater voice in certain events and more substantial pieces to compliment where Cain glosses over key details. Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, read by Noako Mori. A resolve to be a giant among men, to conquer, plunder and seize the greatness that he thinks is his right. Ultimately, for those who have read the Cain franchise before, or fans of the old Flashman series, I'd say it's definitely worth reading.
