About this listen

A Primarchs Novel

"I have always been the master of wretches, and have learned from that. I am a wretch myself, a non-standard. To purify and to transform – that has been our gift."

Sanguinius, the very image of an angel, has chosen to obscure the origins of his Legion, and prevents outsiders from setting foot on his home world. A remembrancer attempts to discover why.

Listen to it because...

The 17th instalment of the Horus Heresy Primarchs series offers a glimpse of the Blood Angels Legion – and its celebrated primarch – from the outside, as we peer into the shrouded secrets of its past.

The story:

Sanguinius is the Great Angel, most beloved of all the primarchs, his mighty exploits celebrated throughout the entire Imperium as the Crusade expands into the void. And yet the origins of his Legion are shrouded in mystery and rumour, his unique physical form is an enigma, and his perilous home world remains off-limits to all but his own secretive people.

When a discredited remembrancer arrives with the expeditionary fleets to chronicle the primarch’s deeds, he has to work hard to uncover the truth behind the legends. As he accompanies the \\IX Legion to war against the enemies of the Emperor, the curious scholar comes to learn much more than he expected – not just about the subjects of his study, but also the nature of the Imperium itself.

A well narrated story by Jonathan Keeble of the Blood Angels, and their beloved but flawed primark Sanguinius.

An insight into a complex legion and primark

Its a good book however when held up to tge other primarch books it isnt as good as most. The story does a good job of describing the blood angels however sanguinius feels slightly 2D as someone perfect with flaws being mentioned and being a focal point of the story but never shown on sanguinius

Not the best

Nothing new is uncovered here. Some of the primarch books give you new insights, others just reiterate things. This is more of a reiteration of things already in the lore. A good listen, but not as good as some of the other primarch books.

Hit and miss.

interesting attempt to look at the myth of him, not sure the single narrative works or if this needs to be a series

Sanguinius the myth

normally Chris Wraight is a fantastic writer and does great things with the 40k universe, not this time unfortunately... only get this if you are a diehard Blood Angels fan, otherwise you won't get much out of it.

a disappointment in writing
