Siege of Terra: Saturnine review

4 Sterne

Quite a good entry to the series. We see the return of Katsuhiro and he's just as good to read as he was in Lost and the Damned. This novel also featured Ollanius Pious more heavily and I became quite interested and invested in him. I’ll want to reread it again in the future to confirm my feelings but I found it was a good novel, and I'm looking forward to Warhawk.
