Blood Angels: Deus Encarmine

Rating:
Summary: Not a bad novel but....
Review: The characterization of the Blood Angels felt way off to me.
Too many little details detracted from the novel.
The structure and organization of the Blood Angels
was also a bit inaccurate in my opinion.

Since when were senior veteran Space Marines so
wishy washy....or so lacking in leadership?
How could Chapter Master Dante actually allow
an inquisitor of all ppl to be in overall command
of a company of Blood Angels to recover an artifact
tied to Sanguinus himself?
Where is the suspicion the Blood Angels should have
towards the inquisition?
Too many actions and decisions seemed way out of character.

The characters felt more like imperial guardsman than Astartes.
Also, how many companies were fielded in the novel?
It seems in each battle, dozens of Blood Angels were mowed down
and yet, they always seem to have dozens of more squads.
Last time i checked, there were about a hundred marines
to each company.

The novel in itself was decent as reflected by the 3 stars.
Still, the novel was somewhat weak because i found the
characters to be weak.
