If this is hated on I’ll delete the thread (EDIT) I guess not.
Accurate, although there are exceptions. Betrayer + First Heretic come to mind, those were fun.
Flight of the Eisenstein is pretty good too. But… none of the HH books have ever really grabbed me. 40k has some truly good pieces of science fiction (The Infinite and The Divine (probably the best warhammer book, I don’t even think that’s a contentious claim), Ruin/Reign, Flesh & Steel, Assassinorum: Kingmaker), but I was always kinda underwhelmed by the 30k stuff… idk what it was. Maybe the inevitability of the setting?
Funny thing is, I’m pretty sure there are way more books they missed.
This is just the Horus Heresy, there are WAY more books
This hits home for me… Once I start a series I have to finish it. Sometimes it’s VERRY long to finish the more boring ones…
I’m the opposite. Life is too short for bad books. If I’m not into a book within the first few chapters, I drop it.
I was getting into Warhammer 40k lore on YouTube and tried the first Horus Heresy book. I noped right out of there. I read the Sun Eater series instead, and I’m so glad I did.
