Easily the best of the four starting Heresy novels--horrific at times. heartbreaking at others, the climax made me want to stand and cheer!

Exalting war and art in harmony, the warrior-artisans of the Angels Resplendent have forged a radiant haven amidst a blighted galaxy. But an ancient sin stains their honour - a wound in their world that will never heal. Ignorant souls would call it a forest, but those who watch over it know better. Nothing natural grows in the Reverie’s snow-swept glades or wanders amongst the unnatural things that do, save for the intruders who trespass on its pain. Some seek revelation or redemption, others dream of winning a place amongst the Resplendent, but all come because they must.

I'm not an old hand with the Warhammer horror series having only consumed a couple when I came across this one...but this one? This one is my favorite one thus far. It focuses on an unique Chapter of Astartes that frankly, I wish I could see again in other fiction of the setting. Space Marines that revel in the artistic side of humanity, in culture and creativity--it's incredibly refreshing. As can be expected however, this leaves them open to other influences, dark ones that will be all too familiar for those that love this grim dark universe. I won't say much more other than simply say it is a very, very slow burn and the crescendo to this story is ultimately more action pack than horror--but the fear within it, the eerie and demented elements are well paced, well cooked so that when you come across them they feel rewarding and overall uniquely psychological in nature. This is very much a slow, corrupting tale and befits the subject at hand. I really did love it and I think it'll be considered a classic.

In a bleak corner of the city of Valgaast, the House of Malveil awaits. A place of darkness, its halls throb with a sinister history. Its rooms are filled with malice. Its walls echo with pain. Now it stirs eagerly with the approach of an old heir - Colonel Maeson Strock of the Astra Militarum has returned home to his ancestral mansion. He is a man broken, both by the horrors of war and by personal loss, and he has come home to take up the mantle of Planetary Governor.

A very Victorian style horror story nestled in 40k
Revisado: 12-17-21
I'm a bit fan of horror--the genre is probably the most near and dear to my heart compared to any other. I'm also a big Warhammer fan and the horror within the setting is what drew me in to begin with--House of Night and Chain further backs that feeling up. The story itself is dark, oppressive and incredibly heavy--if you're not familiar with Gothic horror this might be a bit much in that regard for these are not stories with hope, only the most fragile of flickering candle light that is all but certain to be blown out. It fits into the universe nicely and while some might argue it's rather predictable I would like to remind folks that tropes aren't by themselves, a bad thing. What tropes it does handle are pleasurably done so--like a familiar dish with new seasonings. If you've a love of old school, Victorian horror and the setting of 40k, you're going to enjoy this.

...this one honestly saved me.
Revisado: 12-02-21
Like many (though not all) who sought this book out, I consider myself a writer. I was also going through a crisis of faith it--being that I work a dead end job and my writing had fallen on the way side. What was once so important to me became a hobby that just made me frustrated and depressed even more so than I usually was. I was recommended this book by a YouTube channel called Tale Foundry and...I wrote at least ten or so pages of absolute nonsense that, while meaningless, was honest and the most I have written in a very long time. I was beginning to hate writing...and this book saved a part of me I thought I lost. Calling it a lengthy pep talk doesn't do it justice; I was very much seen and felt validated in my struggles as an artist but most importantly? I was gently reminded that I was indeed, an artist. I just had to stop demanding so much from my art and just...let it be. If you're in a dark place with your work, even if it isn't writing, I can't recommend this strongly enough. Thank you, Ms. Lamott.
