Good, solid Primarch book

Revisado: 11-25-22

Better than most Primarch books but not the best. The story details more about the animosity between the Wolves and the Dark Angels, a siege against a defiant world during the Great Crusade as it's backdrop.

Gives more character to the insights of Russ during such times, further amplifying that he is more than a peerless warrior, but a deep thinker and mindful leader. Also an empathetic, humble one at that too. All true Wolf fans owe it to themselves to read this one, better to understand that the Wolves are more than just boastful barbarians clad in ceramite, but capable of regretful choices too.

"No..."

Revisado: 10-12-22

Another brilliant addition to Horus Heresy and obviously, a must read.

ADB is hands down, one of the best GW authors yet to take on their IP.

TLDR: Only for Salamanders fans. Otherwise skip.

Revisado: 08-08-22

Quite slow for roughly the first 3/4th's of the book, even if you're a Salamanders fan like me. I almost stopped entirely and read spoilers so I could move on. But things started to pick up and become intriguing. The last 1/4th of the book does well to wrap everything up and there are some cool moments towards the end.

IMO, unless you're a Salamanders fan, skip this one. You're not missing much at all.

The narrator is quite unmoving and not as energetic. Makes for a very slow, unimpressive story that sells Nick Kyme's abilities short.

For the Lion

Entertaining. Interesting ending. A must read for any Dark Angel fan. Certainly one of the better Primarch novels but not top 5.

Best in SoT Yet!

Revisado: 04-26-21

MUST RE AD FOR HH FANS! I've skipped around a handful stories within HH and yeah...youndomt need them all to understand and appreciate the events of the Siege series. But wow. You're gonna wanna get in on this! Great insight to the endeavors of the XVth Legion and some really jaw dropping moments. Oh and you're gonna love the Salamander/Space Wolf buddy cop parts too!

Ave Dominus Nox

Revisado: 12-19-19

Unlike many of the Horus Heresy novels, this tale depicts the mind, motivations, and intrinsic catalysts of Kontsd Curze, Primarch to the 8th Legiones Astartes, the Nigh Lords.

If you are a fan of the stories of Primarchs, you are in for a real treat. The tale balances back and forth between the demise of Curze, various moments of his upbringing on Nostramo, and as leader of the 8th legion. This tale lends credit to how and why he was so crazy as depicted in other mentioning.

This is one of the few HH novels that reads more akin to a horror tale instead of a grand adventure. It is further enhanced by some of the best voice acting I've ever heard.

Into the fires of battle...

Great performance with a solid story. Any 40k fan will now turn into a Salamander fan as well.

The Indomitable, the Unrelenting, the Lord of Iron

Revisado: 12-04-18

Great, short 30k piece to better understand the Primarch of the 4th Legiones Astartes. The author gives you a great idea of the life and conquest of Olympia through Perturabos eyes while at the same time telling of the 4th's efforts against a gigantic invasion of Hrud. The climatic last third of the novel depicts the news of and punishment against the rebellion of Olympia. The greatest enjoyment is the ebb and flow of Perturabo's behavior and character as he grows and lear s what it means to be a Primarch, both as an Olympian youth and leader of Astartes. As with all traitor Primarchs, this story gives insight of the flaws of such wonderous, perfect leaders and this novel leaves you with a brilliant ending to close the story of the tragedy of Perturabo.

Best for Vlka Fenryka

Revisado: 11-14-18

Burning of Prospero was ok compared to this great tale of the Vlka Fenryka. It takes place soon after Prospero and the story focuses on a few specific Wolves but mostly a side to Russ that is necessary to truly understand the honor of the Legion. A lack of action in the first half is made up by the multitude of important characters from other novels. The action of the second half is very exciting and well written.

Must read/listen

Revisado: 09-19-18

One of the top 5 HH stories to read. You could argue this is another, great "Beginning" of the HH novels as it's the starting point of the Ultramarines induction into the war. Brilliant pacing, great climax, and awesome ending.
