Blood Reaver is the second novel in the Night Lords Series by Aaron Dembski-Bowden.
Driven on by their hatred of the False Emperor, the Night Lords stalk the shadows of the galaxy, eternally seeking revenge for the death of their primarch. Their dark quest leads them to a fractious alliance with the Red Corsairs, united only by a common enemy. Together with this piratical band of renegades, they bring their ways of destruction to the fortress-monastery of the Marines Errant.
You missed the best part when Septimus and Octavia almost kiss and then one of the marines barges in and is like IT SMELLS LIKE SEX IN HERE
That was the beginning of the scene with Reuven. The gang was just vibing and this dude just barges on in and says "I can smell the horniness in here" before proceeding to wave his genetically modified cock around until they tell him to leave
"[...]
‘This chamber,’ he growled in Gothic. ‘It reeks of mating.’
[...]"
Ruven is a treasure
@Stinko De mayo I remember from the book The Emperors Gift when the main Grey Knight character goes to the Inquisitors chamber and can smell the scent of the Inquisitor on one of her retinue and vice versa, despite the fact that they’re on opposite sides of the room.
@@ShadowGhost0117 there was one scene from a Cain book where he sees a old Liberian and sister of battle walk out of a room and both are messy hinting that he got it on with her and there like damn bro that’s badass and cool
Even on his worst day, Horus wouldn't have put the milk in first.
Horus was not that heretical, he still had some standards left. How else would he eat his Khorn Flakes every morning?
Talos telling Octavia he wanted to be a hero is easily the saddest thing I've read in any 40k book
Agreed, alternatively the funniest part for me was Varial saying that some people think they are the hero's in their own philosophical saga. He essentially just said that "some people act like they're the main protagonist of their own anime." and it just cracked me up.
WE NEED A HERO HES GOT TO BE STRONG AND HES GOT TO BE FAST
The fall or prospero is really devastating but talos is more personal
Just wait till Void Stalker.
That and the bit where he walks away from his elderly mother in the parade like she's nothing 😢
Can’t believe y’all forgot the greatest line said in this book “Octavias bandana would stay on tonight”
i hate that when talos grabs that serf in the library you forgot to mention that Talos was hanging out of the vent above the guy and the serf thinks something like "a marine errant?" then Talos drags him up "NOT A MARINE ERRANT NOT A MARINE ERRANT!"
To be fair to Octavia she was only used to using pre-established, stable Warp routes guided by the Astronomican but was being made to guide the ship renegade style which was more like going white water rafting in an inflatable beach boat at night and the water was full of bears, sharks and bearsharks. The whole book was amazing despite that though.
Two minor things though: _ackshully_ a plasma pistol would in no way breach the hull of the ship on account of it being several metres thick and made of a material capable of deflecting fuckhuge chunks of metal going at a significant fraction of the speed of light. Secondly *what the actual fuck, Bricky!?* What kind of subhuman degenerate monster puts the milk in first!?
Not only that Octavia is dealing with machine spirits that are over 10k years old and are a lot less tame than a newer Rouge Trader's ship would be.
Octavia: "I'm a new navigator, I've never piloted this kind of ship, I think Im forgetting something... Oh wait I'm a slave and my life sucks! My lack of skill is totally understandable."
Bricky: "That's a crutch you scrub."
Don't worry we still like you big guy! Yes I agree. I didn't like Octavia's incompetence being used as a plot contrivance for major plot points either.
Kinda love the bit after Ruven is killed, when Talos orders Octavia to enter warp space, she salutes him with her fist over her heart like the nightlords do to each other, before changing to a regular curtsey. She always thought of herself as the prisoner, the slave of Talos, but in that brief moment she WAS a navigator, doing her job out of loyalty instead of survival.
I cannot believe Bricky pours milk in before the cereal like a god damn caveman.
That's an insult to cavemen!
@@steweygrrr unga bunga, even we put cereal first.
I bet he did it on purpose just to mess with us
It's good for being able to see the amount of milk you are using especially if you are running low on it
@@AlexWithington thats just stupid. Dont know about you but i have a pretty good idea how much milk i have left in the box just by handling it.
In regards to Octavia’s “incompetence/inexperience” they are deliberately traveling through the warp in ways that she wasn’t ever trained to until she was captured, as they are not using the Astronomicon to travel
So like is telling a new pillot straight out of flying school to fly this plane without a compass
@@sergiovergaramontemiranda2116 More like giving a pilot who’s only ever flown cargo planes a custom built and tuned high performance plane, that is also using metric measurements instead of the imperial they were taught and then taking it to places they’re never flown before while under duress
Her inexperience is one of the more realistic parts of the book. I don't see why you guys keep harping on it, not only has she never piloted without the Astronomicon, but she's never piloted anything more than a basic bitch trading vessel.
Ruvan (don't know how his name is spelled, Ruevan?) was absolutely fucking killing me this book. After that great speech while he was captured, parts of which were so resonant with the Night Lords plight that Talos would carry it with him into the future, he reverts right back into being a complete shitbag when freed. Then while Talos is growing more furious watching Malcarius be wheeled on to the Echo of Damnation, Ruvan just pops up in front of him like a cartoon character like "Brother! Look! I lived! Surely, this is a sign that we are meant to be together." Then after ALL that, he deludes himself into thinking HE now runs the ship. The newly obtained Night Lord vessel. Him, the traitor to the Night Lords. He's acting like himself becoming the next Exalted is a given so it's all the funnier when he meets up with the other Night Lords and goes "So, what now brothers?" and they all just give him a dead stare. I don't think a book has ever gotten me to laugh at someone being disemboweled before so good job, Blood Reaver.
Vandred’s last stand with the Covenant is one of my favorite space battles. Dude was a demigod in the void.
i had no idea raptors spoke like skaven, i love it.
same if raptors speak like this then holy shit that's hiliourus
@@lachlangardner2080
Well a lot of them cannot speak at all because of their vocal cords fusing with their helmets, but the ones that do speak hiss a lot and really speak sort of like space skaven
I am disappointed that they missed the best Septimus scene. Where he kidnaps pregnant women for the Legion.
I look forward to Brikky clapping back and defending his incorrect choices of assembling a simple bowl of cereal
Shy going into strike is gold.
I had no idea Chaos raptors where Skaven, Great horned one still strong yes-yes, many tailed one yes-yes presence in the Warp.
Ruven was very much the Starscream of the trilogy, and I was very pleased with his end.
Despite the details given on how hound looks, I always imagined him as looking like the hunchback of nowhere from courage the cowardly dog but with a shotgun
I really liked the Vandred redemption arc, need an Exalted Demon prince on the tabletop
I thought the description of Talos' mother to Octavia was a lie, since he tells Octavia she was blonde, and yet we know from Hound that all Nostramans have black hair. I figured he made up the stuff he tells Octavia to try and dismiss having to talk about his mother.
Hair dye/chemicals
@@Audiotrocious That is a possibility, but from the way Hound phrases it, I get the distinct impression that it's a genuine Nostraman thing to have black hair, and nobody changes that fact.
@@ThePlantagenet666 I keep thinking of gangers in Necromunda who have a kaleidoscope of hair colors
I mean she was a prostitute right it’s entirely in the realm of possibility that she may have had her hair dyed by her owner
Sorry to necro but Talos last saw his mum ten thousand years ago, and he's seen plenty of non-Nostraman people in the interim, he could very well have just forgot her hair colour or the general fact that everyone there has black hair, and kind of just made it up - whereas Hound hasn't *seen* anyone in those same 10k years, so he'd remember it more vividly.
Talos telling Octavia that he wanted to be a Hero after learning about how that's what his mom wanted for him, completely fucking wrecked me. Probably the best part of the book.
But also shoutouts to Ruven's speach about the Abbadon and the Black Legion. Such a good speech.
Thats kinda what i like about Maruks Death.
it's not ceremonial. it's grimdark, he's just a Mortal against a fucking possessed Space Marine. Vermin.
Less than 30 Night Lords. the first claw proceeds to kill most of the other claw members.
Talos: "We can't lose more of our brothers. We are dying company."
There are far too many comments not about how hound is the best character ever. He stood up to demigods, cleared out bodies without question, and shot a demon (that took down multiple raptors) in the mouth with a shotgun. He didn’t even scream or anything.
Another point about Merook's death. Merook?, murrok? idk. After he got killed his body fell into the navigator goop pool. just a little charry on top to a great characters death.
That's how I knew he was dead, if he survived having his skull split he sure as shit wasn't surviving the septic shock
the walking on all 4s raptor is the old kind
all of them did it because thats how kurze designed their armor
the raptor armor was designed by the night haunter as his specialized jump infantry
thats why you used to not be able to give them a mark of chaos except undivided, because all of them where night lords and they dont serve a god
The Khornate possessed you were talking about was a Gal Vorbak from the Word Bearers, they're pretty cool and don't have any specific demonic allegiance/mutations and can transform in and out of their demonic form. They're covered very well in the First Heretic which is a great book if you're getting into 40k and it's also by ADB.
THE FIRST HERETIC BOOK CLUB LESS GOOO
I like the Exalted, being a demon he's in a galaxy where everything else wants to kill him and the ship is his only sanctuary, he doesn't hate Vandred or want to corrupt everyone.
Today I learned: bricky is a heretic who puts milk in before the cereal. Time to get put in the wall
Propper pronounciation of Uzas is Ooh-zhas not Ooh-zas, because the term itself comes from Sebo-Croatian term for dreadded horror - užas. I think even 40k wiki trivia says it.
Well they are kinda space slaves
Ooze Ass
I particularly liked the little chat between Xarl and Mercutian, discussing the merits, past and future of the legion.
And the ending where Talos does the same thing as at the end of the previous book, where both times he makes a little speech before/while executing a guy by sword through mouth. In that particular it was absolutely the smart thing to do, and it's the kind of situation where main characters almost never do that smart thing. It's not quite a subversion of expectation, because it makes perfect sense for the character, but it's a subversion of the cliché.
Can't wait for the Adeptus Ridiculous store to drop Navigator-Girl Bath Water.
If you have the Night Lords omnibus it gives you 2 short stories that shows how they have certain things in the book 3. One of the short stories is also a really good audio drama that you can get called throne of lies that is set between the events of the first and second book. So if you want the full story you should read/listen to those.

Milk before cereal....
Milk before CEREAL.....
MILK BEFORE CEREAL.....
*MILK BEFORE CEREAL!!!!*
HERESY!!!!!!!!!
BUUURNNNNNG HIIIIIMMMMM
H E R E S Y
*headbutts exterminatus buttom*
Ruven getting his comeuppances near the end of the book almost made everything else worth it, but only almost.
Having had read all three, I’m still a little sad at how everything ended, though we all knew how it was going to play out.
"I wanted to be a hero" god damn the night lords are a sad story.
I cant wait for them to read The Lord's of Silence. Its such a good deathguard book.
Yes! I'm almost done with it. I think Vorx is such an interesting character.
I just started the Buried Dagger. should I have read Lord's of Silence first?
@@gearman237 Your fine I n that order. Buried dagger is Horus Heresy which is gonna give you some background into the legion and then you could read Lord's of Silence which is right before the fall of Cadia if I'm not wrong
Correction I'm sorry, it's after the fall of Cadia.
One of the best details in the book for me is when Vandred regains control and talks to the crew. He calls himself "the captain" instead of "the exalted" and he calls the people in the bridge by their name and rank instead of "mortal". Its a blink and you miss it moment, but you really get a glimpse of who he was before Chaos corrupted him.
By putting the milk in first bricky has finally revealed his true allegiance... to chaos!!!
I’m so sad that Hound didn’t survive. He was just a Little Guy
He fought a space marine, a POSSESSED space marine, with nothing more than a sawn off shotgun and a DREAM.
@@Si_Sireeni the Greatest Little Guy
BUT BRICKY IS A MILK BEFORE CEREAL LUNEY TUNE
Literally had to stop the video and look at comments when I saw that heresy
Outrageous! Blasphemy!
What a fucking creatine
FFFFFFFFFFUCKING HERECTTTTTTTIICCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Nightlords Trilogy is great. I also recommend the Dante, Devastation of Baal, and Darkness in the Blood Trilogy. The Watchers of the Throne series is great as well as the Fabious Bile series.
In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, you pour milk first.
Bricky it’s not that you poured the milk first, it’s that you didn’t pour enough milk.
The third book tells you who killed the void father and it’s someone you don’t think of 👀
JUSTICE FOR UZAS
@@gabrielriossamper9703 Where is that f*cking petition?! I want to sign something!
UZAS DID NOTHING WRONG!
It make me think the night haunter will return in a different shape and form and bring his legion back together again.
Nah I think Conrad is one of those few primarchs like ferrus mannus that are never coming back
@@zakluck1686 he had an eldar stone in his crown that may or may not have his soul in it
I really hope not, it would ruin the whole "proving his point" angle of his death.
@@cousinzeke4888 that is up to GW not me man though it do seen kind of possible
@@vontheunknown7982 is it possible? Yeah sure, would it be incredibly stupid for GW to go that route? Most indefinitely
Interesting fact about Hound's shotgun, its described as a sawed off pump action, with slam fire. My personal headcannon is that it's an original Winchester model 1897 shotgun thats about 38k years old and survived all sorts of shit and is basically held together by Hound's best boy-ness
I mean, it's a browning gun. Browning guns last forever if you care for them.
@@KolmManison as long as you don't care about your rotator cuff. the only thing JMB failed at, was reducing recoil.
So glad you guys talked about my man Lucoryphus
Late to comment. But Roy mustang uses alchemy to change the chemical makeup in the air and the gloves are friction gloves that allow his snap to create a spark. And they have the flame alchemy symbols. On them
I genuinely cannot wait until they eventually get to the First and Second War for Armageddon... and definitely just those two, there were no other wars there Mr. Inquisitor, sir. I'm no Choas man, not me.
For real though, its the perfect opportunity to talk about Dorn's Angry Bois, and his best bois: The Celestial Lions.
1:10:48 Malcador, Malcharion, the M-peror... lotta M names.
Blood Reaver is probably my favorite of the trilogy. Trying to decide between Lords of Silence or Brutal Kunnin’ for my next audible listen
Lords of Silence is good
i shall continue to hope for red tithe next after these as its got more night lords and something probably scarier than knight lords
Im surprised more people arent getting violent from you pouring the milk first
When someone says star wars is dark ima just refer them to the night lords books
I just wanna say I hate my mindless job, but this podcast and the things you tell me to read have been an excellent distraction. For helping me not go insane from monotony I thank you.
My favourite part about Vandread showing his humanity before his death was that unlike the exalted or a lot of other night lords he used the names of the crew on board. (Specifically addressed someone on bridge by name instead of title or what they did) which was pretty cool.
I read the entire omnibus in a month, this shit was just that good
Bought the Omnibus just because you guys had such a high opinion of it
That has some bonus short stories. Seriously though, the audiobooks are great 👍
Love that you have sponsors now, good for you guys!
I hate that this was only a trilogy cuz now I’m invested. I NEED MORE NIGHT LORDS
I hope they do Horus rising the first book of 30k and False gods. Really shows the fall of the Luna Wolves and has my boy Garviel Lokken
And our boy travitz
familiar with this fanfic called Dornian Heresy?
- Guilliman and the Ultramarines are separatist from the Imperium, since they're unhindered by the "don't invent" thing, they stalemated with the Imperium
- Ferrus and his marines were infected by Necron living metal (space marine x Necron)
- Ssnguinius became Nurgle's daemon prince
- Corax mutates to a raven demon prince of Tzeenth
-Jaghatai turned to a centaur demon prince of Slaanesh
-Russ is a werewolf daemon prince of Khorne
-Vulkan is Malal's daemon prince
-the Imperial Fist became the Black Legion while the Sons of Horus became the Black Templars (Abaddon and Sigismund swapped - Abby changed the name since Horus failed the Emperor)
My favourite part was when Ruben escapes on Deltrians ship and rushes over to Talos and basically blubber to Talos that he's still alive
Chaos magic spoons unchained, zero corpse god , 10g of pure Heretic goodness in every serving . Now only ten souls a box , you want to beat the Imperium ? Don’t start on a empty stomach get chaos magic spoons unchained now.
I love what happens to the red corsairs that are on the outside of the ship when it warp jumps
Probably the best RLM reference I’ve ever heard.
great episode, love shy's little touch's in there as well
What kind of maniac pours the milk into a bowl before the cereal thats some prime HERESY right there
Also why I love running raptors in chaos bc they are just fun.
I feel like Octavia gets unfairly dragged in this episode. what Bricky sees as a crutch in the unpredictability of her warp travel, I see as set up and payoff.
The first instance establishes Octavia as unfamiliar with navigating without the Astronomican, but it also establishes the Covenant of Blood as a character in its own right - a proud vessel that has its own ideas on how to navigate the warp. It’s a trained beast, but one that demands respect from its navigator.
So when Octavia tries to jump the Echo of Damnation, she finds a very different vessel - it’s described as an abused horse. And from everything I’ve heard about horses, that feels pretty apt - it’s a wild, unpredictable beast that will give even an experienced trainer a lot of pause.
It may be a sister ship to the Covenant of Blood, but its machine spirit is a completely different animal. The ships literally talk to the navigators with active intelligence.
Plus it’s also warp-corrupted to the point it makes Octavia puke. Given how universally bad it is in 40k to deal with warp-corrupted tech, the fact that Octavia managed to get the Echo of Damnation to the rendezvous point at all should be a feat of impressive resolve and willpower.
wtf who puts the milk first in the bowl thats heresie
Bricky, report to the nearest Commissar for the heresy of putting milk before cereal
1% of comments: Oh yeah those Night Lords are pretty wacky guys,
99% of comments: YOU BUILD CEREAL WRONG YOU HOMUNCULOID SERVITOR REJECT REEEEEEEEEE
You guys have no chill.
Question regarding the magic spoon, but does it also deliver in other countries like netherlands or italy?
Magic spoon can be gotten almost everywhere. Majorkill just did a sponsorship for them too and he lives in Australia. I'm pretty sure the adeptus boys are in cali. And one of my favorite comedians in New York (chiseled adonis) and of course the man the myth the legend, the American gangster, the biggest arms in west linn Oregon, the undefeated undisputed chael sonnen. All of these folks have done a magic spoon sponsor, I may actually have to try some myself. Any time a pro athlete, a Buff comedian, a Buff nerd, and a thicc nerd (sorry bricky) all agree it's prolly legit.
0:52 the signal for the podcast like froze for me here and I died of laughter but because it looked like he just stole a bunch of cookies or something
Ya know, I was interested in your sponsor, magic spoon cereal, but then I saw you put the milk in the bowl before the cereal and now the whole fucking episode is ruined
@Adeptus Ridiculous Please please please read Brutal Kunnin'
I listened to it after Gaunt's Ghosts waiting for your next book review.
it, is, hilarious!
it'll be a great book to start after 3 books of night lords
31:40 arguably one of the saddest quotes I've ever heard, in or out of 40K. Talos, the leader of First Claw of the Night Lords; so far removed fdom humanity, and yet made to feel so incredibly human.
26:15 These raptor-things sound like glorious ratmen, yes-yes!
I've read through all the omnibus and a question keeps niggling in the back of my head regarding Talos, is he on the spectrum? I ask this as some with aspbergers but they way Talos talks, how everyone describes him as literal, and especially when we got to see his childhood gave me flashbacks to similar experiences and things said about me. Maybe I'm just inferring into it but I was curious if anyone got the same vibe.
I have aspergers too! I wonder things like this when reading or watching media all the time, if the character is intentionally on the spectrum or not. I'm like 99% sure Sarah in the movie Labyrinth is on the spectrum. I know we're not supposed to project disabilities onto people who may not actually have it but it is difficult when yoy recognize all of the signs they might have it.
Anyways, uh, yea, considering how well and different these books are from other Warhammer novels, Talos might intentionally be on the spectrum.
Technically all Astartes are on the spectrum when it comes to interpreting emotions other than rage but yeah Talos in particular really gives me a similar reaction.
Nah dude I mean I get the appeal and stuff for folk in your lot to resonate with them and feel they are. But all Astartes are kinda like that, just depends on how serious they were before the change and legion from which they hail. The transformation into a space marine kinda kills most of their emotions. Along with chemical castration...it really makes them emotionally detached from others outside of blind loyalty to their cause and "brothers". Some overcome it and depending on the primarch that is the father of their legion or chapter the affects can be greater or lesser. But most space marines are like him. Hell just look at the Imperial Fists or Iron Hands. A lot of Ultra Marine Chapters and pretty sure the Space Sharks *don't know how to spell their proper name* are similar.
Bricky got me into 40k . Originally had me being a loyal citizen of the imperium , now he has converted me to the was of chaos lol
Pouring milk before cereal! ABSOLUTLY BARBARIC!
Only an agent of CHAOS pours their milk first!
Are we going to ignore the fact that this man puts milk in first?
Can’t believe bricked put the milk before the cereal
blood beaver, the beaver of blood
Just discovered this at long last. Really need the cheering up at the moment so looking forward to your review of the second book in my one and only favourite Omnibus.
I keep reading the font on the cover as blood beaver
Zombie Beavers is a movie
I'm surprised you guys weren't sponsored by imperi-O's, inquisi-pops, or hereti-flakes (they're deliciously sacrilegious)
UZAS WAS A GOOD BOY HE DESERVED BETTER
I ALSO didn't realize Maruk(?) died in this book.
32:30 Everything short of being a worshipper of Nurgle, that is.
The power moves made by shy here
I hope you guys do a review of the soul drinker saga and the adventures of a certain commisar
Bricky... creepy Adeptus Cerealrealus Adept...
Dk's Raptor impression is spot on :D
That cereal is almost as good as fiesta pail
