Sisters of Battle

By: James Swallow

Narrated by: Emma Gregory

In the grim nightmare future of the 41st millennium, the witch-hunting zealots of the the Sisters of Battle stand between humanity and damnation. From the elite Seraphim warriors to the berserk Sisters Repentia, they are the strong arm of the Ecclesiarchy and the brutal hammer of witches.

When dangerous psychic heretic Torris Vaun escapes from her custody, Seraphim Miriya is disgraced in the eyes of her fellow sisters and superiors. Following Vaun's trail to the planet Neva, Miriya takes her sisters in pursuit and, along with Hospitalier Sister Verity, starts her investigations.

When they uncover a terrifying plot that could threaten the future of the Imperium, is Miriya's and Verity's faith strong enough for them to triumph?

Fantastic Narration and great writing

First audiobook, first Warhammer 40K book, was fantastic. Listened to it during my commutes to work. The narration was incredible.

Would recommend

Great Story

I am kind of new to war hammer 40K. This with a great story and I'm looking forward to the 2nd part.

Great insight into Pskyers and the Sororitas.

Great characters and pacing. Wasn't bored for a moment. The villains were good, but one was obvious from the start. That's my only issue. Otherwise good story, would like more.

Ave Imperator!

Loved this! Never a dull moment with the mystery, action and ways of the adepta sororitas. Suffer not the heretic, the seditionist, the prideful, the warp, or your own folly.

Ave Imperator!

Brilliant look at the Adepta Sororitas. The performance was perfect and gave great voice to all of the characters.

Pleasantly surprised

I'm not going to lie when I say I'm a little biased based on the fact that I'm in love with this faction on the table top side of the fandom. As I almost binged the entire book in one sitting trying to paint a squad of retributors. I'm not an expert in 40K lore , however , I think there's enough action and mystery in this book to warrant a listen. The narrator kills her performance, supplying several voices for different characters, while the setting and characters (mainly moriah and her dynamic with variety) kept me interested throughout the entire adventure. The final battle between the Adepta Sororitas , and the big bad is a little short . But that's a small complaint for my overall satisfaction with the book. I hope this review helps you find your niche in the fandom, and remember, in the 41st millennium know only war 🤙🏼

predictable but pleasant

I read this to get an idea of what the sisters of battle were, and I got it.

entertaining enough

This audio book was solid. I thought the narration was very good. Emma Gregory played the different characters well, giving them life through her portrayal. The story was fun, for me the highlight being the battle scenes. The ending fell a little flat for me, but it kind of lends itself to the endless war of the far future theme of 40k. Overall I liked the book, but it wasn't the type I couldn't stop listening to, but I can see myself listening again.

A gripping story of triumph and defeat

This was my first Black Library book, and I have to say, I was not disappointed! The story was absolutely beautiful, and perfectly highlighted the Adepta Sororitas' faith and battle prowess, without making them seem overpowered. The voice acting was also wonderful, each voice was unique and full of life. Definitely recommend!

Well deserved 5 stars

Great storytelling. Really became invested in the characters. Along with that, the narration was top tier!
