About this listen
A Blood Angels audiobook.
A religious civil war brings the Blood Angels, commanded by Chief Librarian Mephiston, to a shrine world where they find a mystery that might help Mephiston understand how he survived the Black Rage - and perhaps cure the Blood Angels of their affliction.
Listen to it because:
Delve into the curse of the Blood Angels and how Mephiston survived it, while also exploring notions of faith and the influence of the Emperor on the Imperium of the 41st Millennium.
The story:
The shrine world of Divinatus Prime has become lost to the light of the Astronomican, and no ship can piece its veil. Only the Lord of Death himself, Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston, has any hope of discerning the fate of this once pious world. After enacting a powerful blood ritual, Mephiston and an honour guard of his fellow Blood Angels reach the stricken shrine world to find it seized by religious civil war. Each faction fights for dominance of a potent artefact, the Blade Petrific, said to be wrought by the Emperor Himself. Yet there is more at work here than a mere ideological schism, for Mephiston believes Divinatus Prime could offer answers to how he became the Lord of Death, he who resisted the Black Rage, and possibly even a way to end the curse of ‘the Flaw’ in all Blood Angels.
Written by Darius Hinks.
Narrated by Richard Reed.

The audiobook is well-narrated by Toby Longworth, who does a great job of bringing Mephiston and the other characters to life. The story itself is okay, but it progresses somewhat disjointedly. There are some good fight scenes and moments of intrigue, but overall the audiobook feels a bit lacklustre.
One of the strengths of the audiobook is the amount of information it provides about the librarians of the 40K universe. If you're a fan of the Blood Angels or the wider 40K universe, you'll probably find this audiobook to be informative and enjoyable. However, if you're looking for a gripping, action-packed story, you may be disappointed.
Overall, I would recommend "Mephiston: Blood of Sanguinius" to fans of the Blood Angels or the 40K universe who are looking for an audiobook that provides some background information about the librarians. However, if you're looking for a more exciting and engaging story, you may want to look elsewhere.
Just okay
