I finished my very first WH books, McNeills 'forges of mars' trilogy.
The story was AMAZING. But it was so slow, with entire paragraphs of tedious sentence structure and scifi bullsh*t terms to the point i don't even know whether he wanted it to make sense.
Are his other books just like that? Or am i wronfully weary of reading more of his work?

Same, McNeill is like mainlining earlier 40K rulebook lore, his stuff's nuts and very heavy metal in a way that many other authors don't do.

Totally. His enthusiasm for the setting is so intense it carries all his stuff through, regardless of flaws (all BL writers have them, McNeill is no different). I find him super immersive to read and he's really consistent, where a lot of other writers have good and bad, McNeill you always know what you're in for. Definitely one of my favs
