I typed out a huge rant in response to this, absolutely hating that series for reasons I can’t get started on without spiraling into an unhinged rant again, and decided that was way too negative a response for some casual excitement about an upcoming series.
All I’ll say instead is I hope the show is better about staying on theme than the novels were.
And, hey, best case scenario?
We finally get a good Definitely-Not-Space-Marines show.
In all fairness I just started the 3rd book and I’m unsure of where they’re going with it right now… but the first two were great reads. The whole class color system is a bit weird at times I have to admit but it’s still great entertainment.
I’d also be interested to read your opinion more than a rant about it if you feel like it.
The problem in that case is I absolutely can’t talk about the problems with it without spoiling the ending and quite a lot of the drama from the third book, but I will say I enjoyed the series quite a lot, teen drama and all, until #3.
I’ll also say if you loved the combat in the second book you’ll love some 40k Space Marine novels because it was basically just a typical Astartes drop pod assault, including the MC melting a guy’s face with definitely-not-a-Betcher-Gland.

Gotcha. I’ll keep on reading. And yes I did enjoy that battle I’ll the the 40k novels.
