Publisher's Summary

Under the command of the newly appointed Warmaster Horus, the Great Crusade continues. Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, leads his warriors into battle against a vile alien foe, unaware of the darker forces that have already set their sights upon the Imperium of Man.

Loyalties are tested and every murderous whim indulged as the Emperor's Children take their first steps down the road to true corruption - a road that will ultimately lead them to the killing fields of Isstvan V....

Very good, but may need a break

Very good audio book that is quite important in the series. The only caveat is it can be very uncomfortable to listen to at times. I had to take a weeks break when I was 3/4 of the way through. The Slanesh-ness of it can get you down, or that's what I found anyway.

Disturbing and highly compelling

I never want to be left alone in a room with Graham McNeill. An excellent illustration of not only the fall of the III Legion, but of why anything Slaaneshi never seems to take centre stage in 40k fiction and promotional material anymore. Excellent story and narration, but not for the weak of stomach.

Amazing!

This was the best book in the Heresy so far! Performance and story was enthralling. If you are looking for a dark story, with very well drawn characters this is highly recommended!

underwhelming

the performance and overall feel of the book was underwhelming, it was too slow of a burn.

ending was good, but the entire book could have been summed up easily within 2 chapters

Slow start but what a roller coaster

An amazing book following the Emperors Children.
It show what the Emperors Children were doing during the event of the 3 first books of the series. and it covers the events of Isstvan 5.
It flesh out Fulgrim completly and brings life to such a colourful character.

WARNING: for people having issues with self-harm, sexual violence and other similar act may want to read this book in steps as it could be overwhelming.

Somewhat over the top

Good book but it does become somewhat too over the top when an orchestral performance begins turning the listeners to chaos beasts. The ending at Istvan V shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that’s read the books up to here, but the level of depravity the Emperors Children are already fighting with is somewhat shocking.

A good listen

I have to agree with others Fulgrim is a bit annoying but there are many twist and turns. I enjoyed how this novel connected with previous novels in the Heresy.

Way different from the previous 3 in the series. Still grim.

Well that escalated quickly.

Gave it 4 stars. The book itself is 5 stars, but I find Fulgrim a whiney b**tch of a primarch so couldn't follow through with the full 5.
