Whether you like them or not, you do connect to them. Battle Sisters in particular offer tremendous scope for emotion and empathy (far more than Space Marines normally do, for example); they’re disciplined and incredibly powerful but their interactions, whether bonding or clashing with one another, or battling against their enemies, have a real sense of weight and warmth beneath all the faith and fury. Mark of Faith by Rachel Harrison. Rachel Harrison. All Rights Reserved. For all the bruising combat and Warp-infused cosmic horror (it is a Warhammer story, after all) however, Harrison never loses sight of her characters, putting them through hell but keeping the reader engaged with relatable, human stakes. It’s a solemn, often deeply grim, at times almost unpleasantly dark journey for Sister and Inquisitor to take, both physically – from Ophelia VII to the halls of Terra and then through the Warp and out into the Rift – and psychologically, but the themes of faith, family and love mean that even in context of 40k there’s somehow a glimmer of hope as well.Harrison properly gets under the skin of both Evangeline and Ravara, helped by the immediacy of the first person approach but also by making sure their challenges are less about what they face physically (though they take a battering) and more about their belief in themselves and their purposes, the choices they face and the decisions they’re forced to make. Told in first person present from the contrasting viewpoints of Evangeline and Ravara, this asks questions about the burden of duty, the nature of fate and the importance of faith – not least regarding the realities (and costs) of sainthood, whether it’s possible for someone to understand such a thing in themselves, and how others might perceive it.
Mark of Faith (Audio Download): Amazon.co.uk: Rachel Harrison, Grace Andrews, Charlotte Strevens, Black Library: Audible Audiobooks I'm on an Adepta Sororitas bender right now and will devour anything about our beloved sisters.I was really looking forward to this novel. Massive problem with BL is making author write book about products they are marketing at the time and very often it shows, there is feeling of author trying to just make it work but on few occasions I have been close to just giving up. It’s a delight to explore Evangeline’s relationship with her Sisters and how that’s tied up in her faith, and likewise the complicated bond Ravara shares with one of her acolytes, what that means and how it affects her over the course of the story.As with all the best Black Library books this uses great characters to reflect and explore their archetypes, digging beneath the surface of the 40k setting while telling a powerful, compelling story which cuts to the core of 40k and the eternal conflict between the Imperium and Chaos. Sisters are the main focus, but there are some fantastic insights into the Inquisition as well, and if you know your Inquisition lore there’s a lot to enjoy on that front.
