About this listen

Created in the Emperor's own image, the primarchs had long thought themselves to be princes of the universe and masters of their own destiny - they led the Space Marine Legions in glorious conquest of the galaxy, and no enemy of the Imperium could stand against them. However, even amongst this legendary brotherhood, the seeds of dissent had been sown long before the treacherous Warmaster Horus declared his grand heresy.

Find out the deepest mysteries of the primarchs. Who is in control of Fulgrim's body - him, or a daemon? What happens when the Alpha Legion fights against itself? Just what secrets is the Lion keeping? And what could the tragic Ferrus Manus have done to prevent himself from becoming a head shorter?

it fleshes out a few things but doesn't really grip you. I felt myself just trying to get through it so I could get to some blood angels stuff.

Some fantastic stories. Some not so. Some fantastic narration.. Some ok. Its a good mix up to progress the stories of some of the primarchs and their legions. Definitely worth it.

Some amazing writing. Some average writing.

As the other reviews say the first 2 stories leave a lot to be desired, but the second half definitely make up for the slow start.

Good second half

I love all the Horus Heresy stories. This book covered a wide variety of characters though my favourite story in this book covered the Emperors Children. A very interesting insight into Lucius and how Fulgrim has changed.

Other stories include the dark angles, iron hands and the alpha legion.

Amazing

Generally good barring Feat of Iron. Feat of Iron is pretty funny in a conceptual sense. Mr. "How do I punch sadness" has to be warned by Mr. Metaphor via his interpretative dance. Like the elves could not have chosen a worse person to pass a warning to in such an awful way. Angron of all people would have gotten the hint better.

The story and performance for Fulgrim and the Emperor’s Children was good. The rest is disappointing.

Okay. Some parts stood out!
