Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 92
In a moment of crisis for the T'au Empire, the enigmatic ethereal Yor’i assembles an elite Elemental Council – a veteran Fireblade, a water caste spy, a peerless air caste pilot, and a maverick earth caste engineer – in the hope of curtailing the growing insurgency on the planet Cao Quo. But as a full-scale planetary insurrection looms, enemies more cunning than Yor’i’s council could have imagined begin to surface from both sides, and Cao Quo soon finds itself teetering on the brink of being plunged back into a dark age of ignorance, and all-out war.

This is THE T’au book
Revisado: 12-12-24
I was very excited to read this since it was announced. It promised to be a look into the internal structures of the T’au Empire and the relations between members of the different castes and it most certainly delivered.
“Elemental Council” feels like a deconstruction of the T’au Empire, the Greater Good, the caste system, and what it means to be T’au. It explores the supposed righteousness of the Ethereals and asks how much that they can truly represent the Greater Good. It breathes life into the characters and gives them vibrant personalities. The characters are very likable and each one of them has an interesting story and relation to the other characters, whether it’s already existent or developed during the course of the story.
The story shows both hope and despair for the future of the T’au Empire. It shows the good parts of the Empire, as well as showing its failures and inadequacies, all without dwelling one too much. The T’au are allowed to be right, they’re allowed to have good ideas of peace and unity, but they’re also allowed within the story to be misguided and passive to their authoritarian empire that governs them.
The book also adds a lot of potential for future T’au stories, while also not feeling like it’s all too important. And it really feels like an appropriately grimdark story for the universe that it takes place in.
Overall, “Elemental Council” is a superb book that balances deconstruction of the T’au faction with a good story and entertaining events throughout the book. I’d recommend it for any T’au fan or anyone seeking to learn more about the T’au. It was truly amazing to experience and is likely my favorite Warhammer 40,000 book.

This is my favorite book that I’ve ever read. It’s so well written and has an amazing and tragic end. It is an excellent addition to my favorite era of Star Wars.
