Vengeful Spirit: The Horus Heresy, Book 29

I thoroughly enjoyed "Venegful Spirit" McNeill has written an amazing story to add to the Horus Heresy. The battle for Molech was incredibly well thought out from void battles to the final stand. His showcase of the Death Guard has been the first real appearance since Isstvaan III and I really enjoyed their part in the book. Don't miss out on this one, you won't put it down!

WH40K novel with almost everything that makes for a great story. Characters are deep and interesting. Action is nearly non-stop throughout. Scope is massive and epic in scale. I thoroughly enjoyed this read.

This one is typical Graham Mcneill book. Lots of characters, a plot all over the place. I wanted to read about Horus for nearly 25 books and this was it but i pushed myself over and over again to read another page.I might have given this one 2 or 3 stars but last few chapters were really good so upgraded my score to 4 stars.If you can keep pushing like Perturabo’s sons under heavy fire then read this book. You have to take the punishment 3/4 of the book to get the gem at the last chapsters.MAJOR SPOILER -WARNING!-YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!I like to read about Emperor’s past but telling his powers are stolen Chaos Gods’ powers cheapens him.

Graham McNeill is a superb writer, and I could not put his latest book down. It was good to get back to Horus again and the Sons of Horus, also interesting to see an epic battle against human forces rather than Legion vs. Legion. Titan usage as well, all kinds of stuff, not to mention a very epic climax. Highly recommended.

Excellent story about how far the Warmaster is willing to go to destroy the Empire his father has made. Fans of Warhammer 40K already know how everything ends, but it’s cool to see it fleshed out. Well written and captivating.

long story but a great story love the Horus point of view it lets you see how he approach the war with his father and brothers. great story all around.

Very slow read, overall bore, the pathfinder hook is lame.

This is a huge book that tackles a critical part of the Horus Heresy. Horus himself is one of the main characters, along with Loken and many of the other orphaned Marines from earlier books who join Loken's ragtag group. The writing is very good, the pacing fast, and the characters far more human than one might expect from genetically engineered super soldiers.The scope of the "stage" is also enormous: titans, massive armies, Space Marine Legions, Primarchs, Knight Houses, and more. Add to that the plot threads of Horus' desire to possess the Emperor's power, Loken's search for meaning, and the epic betrayal of House Devine. All of these pivotal stories in their own rite.And that's the only real problem. Some things that seem really important end up getting squeezed for space. Things that feel like they should happen slowly are abrupt.End result: a pivotal book in the Horus Heresy series, well written and well worth reading.
