A Warp in the Park

A fine little book that does a decent job of looking at the struggles of a recently sanctioned psyker, returned to her former guard unit who don’t seem all that keen on having her around.

There is a brief but tantalizing look at life in the Scholastia Psykana but otherwise this a straight up Guard novel with ghostly mists, witches and all manner of heretical shenanigans. The writing perhaps lacks a degree of elegance but manages to capture Glavia’s anxieties and inner life rather well. Her love-hate-obsession with the warp makes for an engaging diversion from the usual Militarum action, and the tense reunion with former comrades and friends helps to add further troubles to an already burdened mind.

Amy Rockson meanwhile is perfectly decent; excellent during the more intimate moments, perhaps less so when things are more bombastic.

Intriguing look into sanctioned psykers

It's another guard book, from the perspective of a sanctioned psyker. That's about it, the plot is ok and in the end it took a turn I didn't see coming. This is increasingly rare, so that's something I guess. It's not spectacular, but not a complete waste of a credit either.


A Cadian officer returns to her unit after getting sanctioned as a psyker. She is loyal to the throne, but doesn't get the respect she used to as now she is a witch on a planet where all the other witches are heretics.
