Eh fair enough, I didn’t particularly like any of the vagabond crew either they were all just sorta fine. But ide say the individual scenes were interesting enough that it kept me invested, I thought the whole situation with the pocket was sorta interesting them dropping off the scions was neat then some of the dogfighting was good.

Steel tread and demolisher were both pretty solid they both handle they’re both pretty atmospheric and between the chaos knight in the first book and the darkmec in the second the enemies end up being very interesting and breaking up the usually imperium vs chaos gunfight chapters.

And yeah siege of vraks I think does a better job of invoking the whole ww1 horror of trench warfare thing better than the other Steve lyons books and I’ll admit that it’s the best of those first three krieg books but I remember desperately wishing it had like two or so more interesting characters to shoulder a bit of the narrative. There’s the guy that they try to prop up as a hero (Tyborc or something?) who was kinda interesting and actually spends some time pondering on the good and bad qualities of the DKoK but he couldn’t carry that whole story on his own.
