![]() ![]() "Truths you will not want to see," replied Sejanus, "and answers you will not want to hear." "What lies beyond that door?" asked Horus, backing away from the silver portal. Interestingly, I think the best quote to sum up the qualities of the second book of the Horus Heresy is this: Warning don't read that part before meal. Again there are some well written fights and I especially liked how adequately disgusting are descriptions of Nurgle's (God of death, decay and disease) forces. We finally get to learn more about gods of chaos, emperor and see how deep corruption has spread through Imperium. Horus rising was more of prolog while this book deals with events that lead to Horus becoming aligned with Chaos and starts setting the stage for the main events and great civil war to follow. On the other hand story in this book is at much more interesting place. ![]() So far I got the impression that Abnett is better writer than McNeil, his dialogs and characters where more enjoyable. Writing in this book is notch bellow first one. Still not sure if this book is better or worse than first one but it's still a bloody good fun. ![]() So if you are completely unfamiliar with Warhammer 40k avoid this and reviews for this series in general. Edit: Someone pointed out to me that there are readers start this series without knowing what Warhammer 40k is and that for such reader this review might contain spoilers. ![]()
