More short stories....
....another collection. Though much better than some of the others, this does start feeling a little bit like filler, delaying progress in the Heresy. The Space Wolf and Alpha Legion story stands out as one of the better shorts of the series. Overall another for completeists only. Worth a credit, but one you can skip if your in a hurry to get to the siege. Narrator was great as always.

Good listen but stories aren’t labelled in chapter
Great stories but the stories aren’t listed in the chapters option, just Chapters 1-X

Saved by Dan Abnett
It is a bit painful to listen to the other short stories which are written by authors who have no business writing anything - let me summarise - no substance, no character development, just things happening being described by a teenager. However Abnett's Perpetual is a joy, despite very little happening in it and being so short, just a glimmer of good writing makes listening to the cringe of the rest of the 'stories' almost worthwhile. How is it GW can't seem to tell the difference between a real writer/storyteller (Abnett) and these talentless rule of cool boring writers?

Worth the time
One of the better short story collections. Essential listening for space wolves fans as it goes Russ' backstory and motivations. Nice finisher from Abnett too.

Good compilation
doesn't add much to the setting, many of the stories don't develop any plot lines and so I'd say this collection is skippable if you want

A decent enough listen
This book is OK although I really am not overly fond of the books made up of multiple short stories. As in most you don't have enough time with the characters to become invested or even care about them.
The better stories tended to be the longer ones, focusing on already established characters such as Leman Russ but even these felt like they didn't have enough depth.
