Summary

Imperium Secundus lies revealed as a heretical folly. Terra has not fallen, though it remains inaccessible. Sanguinius, Guilliman and the Lion El’Johnson, the primarchs of the Triumvirate, must reach Terra at all costs. They seek to defend the Emperor and to atone for their sins.

But the Ruinstorm, a galaxy-wide maelstrom of chaos, hides the Throneworld from the primarchs. Now the fleets of three Legions depart Macragge, and the primarchs will stop at nothing to overcome the Ruinstorm. Yet an insidious enemy watches their every move, and plots against the weaknesses of the errant sons of the Emperor. Each has his own inner storm, and each marches towards his own ruin.

Sentence after sentence of hyperbole.

Whilst the overall story of the book was good and tied some loose ends up, the execution was very poor. Every line was over the top, so when it got to some climaxes I was underwhelmed. the author forgets that less is more, and that the characters make the books compelling. the narrator was fantastic yet again. Final plot view without spoilers: the end with Kurze didn't make sense from a military standpoint even with the emphasis on fate.

Damnation of Pythos 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I honestly don't know who approved this but they want to to be shot. I honestly can say this is the most boring book in the entire series. It's so slow. I get that weapons have names but He sounds like a kid trying to pad a word count by the amount of times he puts "the blade encarmine" etc It's unnecessary.

Honestly found it quite boring and not gripping.

Struggled with this book. I love the Horus Heresy Series but this one is my least favourite, feeling like its just pushing action down your throat for no reason other than action. I think it's the pacing I have issue with.

Awful Story

This is a typical Annandale story, the characters HAVE no character and the story is incredibly boring, I have this as a book and was so fed up reading it I got the audio book and it STILL bores me to tears 😂

An overblown mess

This novel should have been a novella at best. The author seemed to have an ending but had no solid story to get there. The language is a hyperbolic mess and it is full of set pieces that are so ridiculous in their scale that they lose any meaning as they vie to trump each other again and again.

I’m glad I can return the book and get my credit back because this novel is a chore that adds nothing of real worth to the series.
The voice actor does his best but I’d never listen to this bloated mess ever again.

Top pick....

....easily one of the best. if you have made it this far in the Heresy then what a treat this book is. Loved every minute. Just a shame it ended too soon. Four Primarchs and four times the action...almost has me liking the Blood Angels.
Narrator as always was excellent. What a great use of an Audible Credit!

Tragic ending

Felt quite sad when the three realise they have to go there separate ways in the war.

Much more like it!

After the droll pointlessness of Tallarn, this book (Rainstorm) finally felt like we were being thrust back into the narrative of war and the path back to Terra!
we'll written and brilliantly narrated.
