Summary
The Emperor is enraged. Primarch Magnus the Red of the Thousand Sons Legion has made a terrible mistake that endangers the very safety of Terra. With no other choice, the Emperor charges Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves, with the apprehension of his brother from the Thousand Sons home world of Prospero.
This planet of sorcerers will not be easy to overcome, but Russ and his Space Wolves are not easily deterred. With wrath in his heart, Russ is determined to bring Magnus to justice and bring about the fall of Prospero.

Meh, it's OK, gets better.
I'm not sure if it's the distraction of a global pandemic but while I normally love Dan Abnett's stuff I was underwhelmed by this one. It possibly is better read than listened to as I found the transitions between intertwined "current time " and "flashback" really hard to track in the first sections and an annoying audio burble was present on some of the narration. Adds a little overall to the heresy story. The last third the narrator becomes more of a storyteller (no spoilers, it makes sense) and that does transform how the story flows. Last third ,very good.

Takes quite a while to get going, but worth it
This is a gorgeous insight into the Space Wolves' history. It's a real slow burn but by the end of it I was gripped.

Not as good as some of the other WH40k books
I really enjoy the WH40k books but this one is a bit hit and miss. The performance is good but the story is slow to start and does not contain as much action as the others and the linkage to the wider heresy is only brought in right at the end.

Weak
By far the weakest in the series so far. Pretty disappointing to have no pov from an Astartes character for this conflict

“There are no leopards on Fenris...”
Prospero burns...slowly, painfully slowly at times!
I still found this an endearing journey into wolf lore, fluff and gore.
Probably a series favourite now I’ve made it through the fight.
I feel a strong urge to swing an axe.

A must for any warhammer 40k fans!
after completing the horus herecy books I looked to this to add more depth to the story and it didn't disappoint!. plot twists and several revelations building on what I've learned already make it a must read for anyone interested in the fall of horus and the creation of the imperium as we know it!. however, thousand sons players such as myself beware, it's not an easy final 3 chapters to listen to!

a strong addition to the series
I wasn't sure about this one at the start, it took me a little to get into the swing of it, but once it gets going its absolutely fantastic.

A good introduction to the Space Wolves Legion
Although the Burning of Prospero makes up only the last 10 percent of the novel, it is nevertheless a good introduction to the 6th Legion's culture and way of war. A must read for anyone interested in the Space Wolves before they turned into the cartoonish caricatures they are presented as in 40k.

over hyped?
I feel that this was over hyped - while the fluff content was great, there wasn't enough detail during the route of prospero to dictate such a lofty reputation.

Much less Prospero burning than one might expect
Foe those wanting to hear about the bit of Prospero, that happens elsewhere. This was okay, takes a while to get going and all the time hopping is a little confusing due to the reader not breaking at all between what I imagine in the text would be paragraph breaks and spaces
