Summary
Once the brightest star in the Imperium and always first among his primarch brothers, Horus has dragged the Space Marine Legions into the bloodiest conflict that the galaxy has ever seen. While their allies wage war on a thousand different fronts, the XVIth Legion descend upon the Knight world of Molech - home to the ruling House Devine, and a principle stronghold of the Imperial Army.
The forces loyal to the Emperor stand ready to defy the Warmaster, but just what could have drawn Horus to attack such a well defended planet, and what might he be willing to sacrifice to fulfill his own dark destiny?

Disappointing.
Not a fan of Gareth Armstrong, sorry. Pronunciations of established characters aren't great, and action scenes don't seem particularly engaging. Seem to enjoy the stories more after reading the novels directly.

Fitting follow-on for Galaxy in Flames.
Few HH books leave such a lasting impact as the first 3. Vengeful Spirit is a good carry on for characters you know and love with just enough fresh faces to work. It starts off feeling a little disjointed as it builds the big picture but once all the pieces are layed out everything fits.
My only critique is that it feels like 2 different stories, one with the battle for Molech and a second following the Pathfinder team. How the two stories interject makes the timeline skew slightly as one minute a character is on Moloch the next they are aboard the Vengeful Spirit with very little happening between.
To fully appreciate this novel, a little prior reading is recommended. The first 3 HH novels are a given aswell as Flight of the Eisenstein and some of the Garro novels (Oath of Moment and Legion of One) to properly understand each character and where they have come from up to now. Despite the pre reading it is definitely a good journey for each chacter from across several novels.

Masterful!
A tour de force by McNeill and Armstrong both; one of the most epic and riveting descriptions of legion warfare in the series and a captivating description of heroes & villains, tragic and noble in their own ways. It made me question the motives for rebellion among the lower cadres, why follow Horus instead of the Emperor. It made me realise the bravery among the traitors, the insurmountable odds that they knowingly face and the willingness to face them head on, regardless. The martial pride of the Sons of Horus and their desire to master their own fate, even if it means facing oblivion, is inspiring!

Not my favorite HH Book
The book is neither good nor bad it's just alright. You have a lot of information/factions/characters who play larger roles in the HH series and this book does explain some of the missing links in the HH... however, compared to other books I felt that this one was just overshadowed by them. Still a good book to read/listen to but not up there with the first 4 in the series.

A pretty good book, but I might be biased😉
A damn good addition to the heresy series, full of feelz.
Only thing that is bothering me is how Garviel Loken is alive, i remember that we dont see a dead body back in the 3rd book, but maybe i missed something or they dont really explane how they found him?
On a side note, as a Dane having the stories of H.C. Andersen be shown in 40k, and explisedly written in danish filled me with a national pride that i rarely feel,
Fuck yeah the things that denmark is most famous for is Vikings, one if the best poets/story writer in history AKA H. C. Andersen, a important Philosopher AKA Søren Kierkegaard, and we have one of the most socially equal countries in the world, FUCK YEAH WE RULE!
XD erhm its a good book😋

good performance
I wish the characters were more likeable. but I didn't like most of them. Horus, the phoenician and mortarion were ok. so was Locken Rubio and the spacewolf. But most of the imperial regiment were very very forgetable. The story or objective first both horus and the grey knights should've been more meaningful. the way it was explained , that is the execution of the narration should have been more dire or elevated a little more.

Seamus is here
Gareth is my favorite of the horus Jersey narrators his voices sound gritty and hard how I imagine the voice of a warrior bound to a life of eternal war should sound
