I found the story to be good but the ending seemed abit rushed , the narrator wasn't great ,he would be better narrating the wind and the willows or something along those lines ,not a story set in the grim dark 41st millennium

good story ,bad narrator

Gripping story and superbly written. Fully represents Fulgrim, his legion (Emperors Children) and Slaanesh corruption with immense detail. The story is a tragedy with shocking scenes of love and betrayal.

The author explores real world philosophical ideas, of the positives and dangers of perfectionism, but in the crazy and messed up setting of 30k.
I Really enjoyed this book and I cant wait to start the next one.

Something other reviews write about is the narrator. Personally, it didnt bother me 99% of the time and I regret not buying this book earlier because I was put off by those reviews.
If you are dead set on the voices and narration being "correct" then it may put you off.
If you, like me, value the story arch of 30k and plot of the characters over the way the narrator "does the voices" then this is a must buy.

A tragic story of perfectionism

Probably my favourite of the series so far, cracking listen and narrator was top notch as always. Now onto Fulgrim !

Over before I knew it !

This was a fun listen and I loved the story throughout. Fulgrim's fall to chaos felt tragic especially come the end of the story. Experiencing the Emperors Children's descent into madness and excess was horrific especially when you get to the last 2 parts of the story.

Hope you like the word Perfection.

A fantastic entry to the Horus Heresy series that portrays the dread seductive powers of chaos and how even primarchs can be tricked and manipulated by its demon spawn.

Excellent writing, fantastic characters and a brilliant performance, if somewhat marred by an overly nasal interpretation of Fulgrim himself that is more fitting for his future daemonic form than the noble if prideful warrior he is at the beginning of this story.

9/10 overall.
