Perfect beginning
I jumped back in 40k after more than 15 years and even knowing the events of the Horus Heresy decently I decided to start listening to this book while painting models and... IT WAS FANTASTIC. I was obviously missing a lot of details, the story is extremely engaging and the narration is superb. It was so good I've already finished the second one and started the third, and it keeps maintaining a great level.
Absolutely recommended for 40k fans, but not exclusively.

Great book with a masterly crafted storyline that drags the reader right in to the thick of it.

the book that made me pay for this service
I'm not one for reading, thankfully I listened to this book being narrated. the narrator gave each character a voice of their own and made it feel like you were really listening to an Astartes speak. the story was great, I've only recently started getting into 40k lore and if you're like me and haven't played the table top or looked into the lore (40k is brimming with it to the point where it can feel overwhelming to a new comer) then this is the book to get you hooked. you may not like painting and collecting the miniatures or playing the table top game but if you're a fan of sci fi mixed with a bit of a medieval feel then this is the best place to start you off. this massive universe of blood, xenos, corruption and brotherhood has some of the most interesting and varied characters both big and small. loved it and can't wait to get into the rest of the series. "in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war."
