This was a great collection, possibly my so favorite so far out of Warhammer Crime. Each story takes you to a different part of the city for a different type of story with a different type of character, so in all that diversity there's guaranteed to be something for you!It's hard for me to think of a favorite – a few days after completing the collection, many of the stories still stick with me. Jude Reid's 'Unnatural Causes', Gary Kloster's 'Confessions of Fire', and Victoria Hayward's 'The Sieg...
Family, both biological and chosen is a constant theme of this collection. Given that the anthology focuses on crime and criminality it perhaps isn’t that surprising that so many of the characters’ perception of this is transgressive of the norm- we see multiple characters striving to break free of the inevitable restrictions of such stratified life in the Imperium.This collection, more so than the previous Warhammer Crime titles, feels like a concerted effort at world building- distinct distric...
Of the crime anthologies that I've read from the Warhammer series, this is certainly the best.
Another excellent insight into the crime of Varangantua.This collection of short stories provides another series of short stories set in Varangantua. Just like “No good men” all the familiar crime story tropes are there all delivered with a distinct 40K flavour. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in either the crime imprint or 40K.
Final verdict on this book is definitely a 5/5 and would highly recommend picking it up for anyone who enjoys the Warhammer Crime stories. It’s very hard to find even an unlikable story among the whole bunch but I think my four favorites were Blood Ballot, Bitter Harvest, Loose Ends, and Service. But honestly… every story in the anthology has at least something to enjoy about it and I think Varangantua works really well in short story forms, certainly if they lined up a bunch of authors like the...
Warhammer grime!As if living in the grim dark world of 40k was not bad enough now comes tales of the criminality that exists beneath the sight of the God emperor! In off to join the orcs as they are more trustworthy than the citizens of the imperium
With four of its nine stories written by women, Sanction & Sin is something of a landmark for Black Library with the highest proportion of female authors in any BL anthology yet published. This is far from a token attempt at representation, however. Unlike No Good Men, which (while featuring individually great stories) hammered home its lack of diversity and variety with both a roster of all-male authors and a collection of remarkably similar, all-male characters, Sanction & Sin’s nine female pr...
This felt as a groundbreaking story collection from Black Library primarily because so many of the authors were female. Each of these stories focused on crime, criminals, those that pursue them and those that interact in the criminal world. There wasn't a weak story in the bunch and this is a good place to jump into the world of Warhammer 40K that isn't all about power armor and huge battles.
