Finished "Hereticus" by Dan Abnett, third book in Eisenhorn series. It was clearly meant to be a trilogy, judging how the fourth book is so very much longer, and released fairly recently. So now I wonder if I want to read that, or do I want to go back to Sanderson if we talk about brick-books.
About the Book: The step from knowledge in the name of knowing your enemy to heresy is very fine indeed. So fine, in fact, that Eisenhorn's companions begin doubting his sanctity, his truth, purity, seeing what feats he pulled with forbidden knowledge, forbidden power, to save them. In the end, they'll have to decide whom can they trust, if anyone at all.
My Opinion: Now that worldbuilding is done, you'd think we can concentrate on knowledge, history, action. No. No we can't. Instead we cheapen the solid plot by throwing in some love drama, making Eisenhorn human. Ah well. Ignoring that bullshit, we had some fine twisty plot, great fights, and SOME lore to enjoy. Good lore, so even a little bit is always greatly entertaining.
Mediocre end to trilogy, but I guess my expectations were getting too high. A solid 4 out 5 nonetheless. Worth the hassle.
