Summary

A Celestian Sacresant Aveline Audiobook

The Imperium burns in the face of Abaddon’s Thirteenth Black Crusade, bringing with it the damnation of entire sectors and countless worlds. As the Despoiler’s malevolent gaze turns to Cadia, the sacred warhost of the Adepta Sororitas prepares itself for the greatest battle in generations.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Follow a Celestian Sacresant as a straightforward mission turns very complicated! Can she track down a traitorous psyker AND defeat an ancient evil on a seemingly innocuous shrine world, or will she fall in glory?

THE STORY

Celestian Sacresant Aveline, of the Order of the Sacred Rose, has a final, sacred duty to perform before joining the battle for Cadia – securing Orison VIII, a minor shrine world in the Cadian Gate.

But when a simple mission to hunt down a Chaos sorcerer becomes a deadly game of cat and mouse, an ancient evil is uncovered – an evil that knows her name. Should Aveline be unsuccessful in defeating this new threat, Holy Terra itself will pay for her failure in blood.

It seems she is almost written to be unlikable on purpose to the point that towards the end I was wishing she would end up dying and novitiate Gwynith would assume her identity. Aveline definitely doesn't deserve the super special sword.

Narration was wonderful but overall I'm underwhelmed and a little disappointed.

Aveline is supremely unlikable

The story has a few pacing issues, but overall it’s an engaging and compelling tale of growth and courage. I found all the characters likable in their own Adepta Sororitas way—balancing genuine kindness with a refreshingly blunt edge. The narrator was excellent, and I hope to hear her in future Sisters-focused books.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to any fan of the Sisters. And of course—glory to the Order of the Sacred Rose!

As a Adepta Sororitas fan, I liked it.

This is a shame.. in theory there's a good story in here but it just doesn't come off. The narrator has a lovely voice but her delivery feels very stilted and first take, the story is decent enough if uninspiring, but is really let down by all the characters being incredibly unlikable; the titular Avaline in particular. This really compounds that it's all quite boring, unfortunately.

It's worst crime is being boring
